The Old Dog Pleads: You're Not A Horse So Don't Put Blinders On Yourself Or Others!

in #video8 years ago (edited)

"Dad What Are You doing? Turn Your Phone Around! You Don't Shoot Video in Vertical!"

"What's the big deal!" I thought. "What difference does it make!" It wasn't until my son showed me the very entertaining video below that I realized that I had been suffering all along with Vertical Video Syndrome!

Now whenever I see someone shooting video in vertical, or worse, I'm subjected to watching a vertical video I cringe! It's so annoying!


Watching vertical videos is like wearing blinders!

Just The Other Day I Suffered The Effects of a Video Shot in Vertical!

The other day I asked one of my employees to film a potential customer's work premises so that I could use it to do a quote. He sent me the video and when I opened it, it was like trying to look at their office with blinders on. "I was trying to do a quote! Not enter a horse race!"

His filming was next to useless but was it really his fault? He just didn't know any better and that's why the video below is so important!

Now That You're Blogging For Steemit You Need This Information To Help Save Your Videos!



Now wasn't that helpful and entertaining? Great work! Hey, maybe the video's makers will move over to our Steemit platform! Thanks to them I was cured after watching it just once! My hope is that it can do the same for you and those that you love!

How About You?

  • Do you suffer from Vertical Video Syndrome?
  • Did you just realize now that you had it?
  • Have you already been cured?
  • Can you help to cure others?

Until next time,

Wow. I know I'm quite late here but I really enjoyed this post with a huge smile in my face. Vertical videos are are annoying. :)

Late but still noticed!

An interesting thing on a Steemit is that when you comment on old posts they can still be UPVOTED and you can receive a financial reward. Cool!

Yes correct. Thanks. :-)

I do at times look like that!

@kus-knee I just posted one ahahahah
damn it !
who cares :P
i like my phone's focus better than my other camera -
resolution wise its better too plus easy to bring than the heavy other cam hahaha
but thanks for sharing!

Quit giving us the tooth!

It does look like that! I apologize!

No, no, it's me. I'll make sure to make my next vid a horizontal one :)

Well, my friend, I've done my part... You may want to sit down for this BUT I have a phone that's a phone! That's right, it makes phone calls instead of taking pictures. I realize that this is a unique concept, but maybe it will catch on!

recently saw that Jerry Jones (Dallas Cowboys) still uses a flip phone

Nice! I like the graphic!

You're funny and I'm glad that you warned me to sit down!

I'm such a Luddite... I have this camera thingy I use for taking pictures and a phone for making calls!

***Third headline

Yeah i found out about the vertical video syndrome here on steemit from one of the marketing posts. It's a very important lesson to learn.

You're a good learner!

Haha, that's an excellent video for the people the error of their ways!!

Really funny stuff. I'd love to lure them over to us!

That would be a catch!

Whether for photos or videos, when I used my mobile, I keep it ever since horizontally 😉

You are a great role model!

Thank you for the kind words, my Friend :)

Excellent post.
Resteem

Thank you so much for the support!

Hahaha! I can hardly take the pressure Old Dog...

  1. fingers out of the way;
  2. flash on or off;
  3. focus, focus focus;
  4. frame cropping;
  5. and now horizontal positioning.
    Will the madness every stop?

Yes, well, sorry to stress you out. I was retrained after just one watch of the video that my son showed me. When you were dancing in the streets of Spain was it filmed vertically?

I'll have to check...@knarly327 took the footage and he's usually right on the ball and after me to position camera's correctly, because he finds it very annoying as well, if I don't choose the right perspective...lol (Yes, we've had conversations about this very topic between us.)

Yes. Correct orientation... (Eye roll, of course. LMAO!)

Thank you @kus-knee! What a treat :)

Apparently we are not the only ones who needed this lesson!

Funny! It seems to afflict a huge percentage of the population! Even the rich and famous have not escaped this plague!

A true diseas that the government is neglecting to act upon.

Do you think that they will come up with a vaccine in the future?

I also do not like watching the vertical video. It's like looking at the keyhole))

That is a good analogy!

Bella questione! Devo dire che dipende da dove devo mettere la foto! In alcuni social è bene verticale in altri orizzontale. Quindi sai che faccio? Le faccio come mi pare (verticali o orizzontali) poi le taglio tutte quadrate con la fase di editing. Così vanno sempre bene!

Grazie per il tuo commento. Il tuo sistema per le foto è molto intelligente!

Per un video, verticale quasi sempre sarebbe sbagliato. Almeno secondo me, ma non sono per niente un professionista!

That's funny. Best puppet video I've seen a while. Hate V.V.S.

Yes that was a great vid! I was so oblivious to the problem until my kid kept getting on my case!

Ahaaha!...now I realise I suffer from VVS.
🚶🚶🚶
I just got schooled by the old dog.

Don't feel too bad. I got schooled by my son!

😁😁

Boooom!!!🐕
I got it! I got the bone 💃. Thanks @kus-knee

Thanks for the tip!
new to all this tech stuff..still trying to figure out what alot of you are saying ..api markdown ,url, and all that is new for me... and extremely frustrating!, I realize it is my inexperience ...you guy make it sound easy, but rebuilding motors is easier for me..lol..
not done learning yet!
namaste

It's pretty new to me too. I admire anyone that can rebuild a motor!

Since when does 240p resolution define Vertical Video Syndrome
I've shot a few horrific images in my short time with cameras
I just found that horses should watch videos vertically
I'm not sure shooting in portrait mode is a bad thing, you just miss out 60% of the screen
:D big deal you get to focus more on the action :D

LLLOOOLzz at the video :D ok you got me

No to old george and mila kunis and vertical eye joe :D great pick :D way to get out of here, had a blast :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's a first I've learned of that medical condition :D I was ignorant of it before now :) you might become the first doctor on here :D now that reminds me of the needle therapy where you were the "test subject" :D how are you doing :) all good I hope :)

I'm doing great thanks so much!

Hahaha. My friend who's avid on youtube is CRAZED about never letting anyone ever shoot vertical.

Once you know about it it's hard not to be come passionate about stamping in out!

I swear if I use my phone cam, I will do it every single time lol!

In your extreme case you may need to watch the video multiple times in order to deprogram!

Ha ha ha. Good one. :)

This made me laugh! To be honest @kus-knee, I'm enough of a Luddite that I have only had a smartphone for about three months, and I haven't even shot any video on it, as of yet... vertical, or otherwise.

But I will remember this, should the occasion arise.

Yes I had never put 2 and 2 together and so was afflicted with VVS for many years!
