Especially when you are going to post it on you tube.

1424036 2016-08-04 02:13:00 I think a lot of people film things one handed and it's easier to hold a phone upright.
I don't like the results either though.

1424037 2016-08-04 05:54:00 Part of the problem is that the video fills the screen while the user is taking it, so the user doesn't see a problem. Phone or app manufacturers could solve it by making the phone screen show how the video will look on a TV. This would not affect the recorded quality but would be a prompt for the user.

Good video CYaBro. They missed the point though. The reason for Horizontal is not because our eyes are horizontal but because the world is horizontal

1424038 2016-08-06 08:07:00 It seems most of the 'selfie' generation can only think to turn a phone on its side when they are lying on their side.

The amount of vanity that cellphones reveal has been a real eye opener.

It really seems amazing that these people ever manage to walk further than a mirror. I suppose the cellphone is now acting as their portable mirror.

I parked beside a car earlier in the week to see the girl inside 'boogying' to the image on her cellphone.
The image on the cellphone was her own live image captured by the cellphone.

Kinda sad really.

1424039 2016-08-08 00:28:00 I've seen a couple of videos that looked so much better like that, but only because it was focused on a high and low point, and nothing much to see of interest on the sides.
I guess it depends if you're watching the video on the mobile or a monitor.
