| From a Gizmodo article telling you the same thing. But you didn't listen. What the fuck is wrong with you? |
So you want to take a cellphone video of something with the intention of posting it to YouTube or whatever. If you hold your phone vertically, you should be sterilized for the sake of humanity and probably have your teeth removed. How do you function?The standard HD video size is 1920x1080 pixels. Your phone will record in this no matter what orientation your clammy hand has positioned the phone in. If you hold it vertically, what happens when you want to watch it on anything that's not your phone? Black boxes. Black boxes that would be filled with glorious HD video had you held your phone correctly, you fucking idiot.
Your video will now play back on any screen that's not your phone as a 1080x608 pixel video with darkness filling up the missing space. Since you're too fucking stupid to hold a phone sideways, I feel the need to explain to you that 1080x608 is smaller than 1920x1080. Congratulations. You have wasted about two-thirds of the available display while using the same amount of memory on your phone. You are why we can't have nice things. Way to ruin it for everybody.
Google's camera app (pictured) even gently suggests to you that you should rotate your phone. It should refuse to record videos if your phone is wrong. Or better yet, administer electric shocks and deport your loved ones.
I say we round up all the portrait mobile phone video people and march them into the sea.
