This Song Banishes Vertical Videos on Smartphones

Youtube

There are few things more annoying than watching a video filmed vertically on an iPhone. The shot is almost always cropped awkwardly and the black sidebars leave you wanting to see more

Jonathan Mann, a YouTube legend who has written, performed, filmed, and uploaded an original song every day for the past 1,649 days, knows a thing or two about filming. He posted a PSA entitled "Turn Your Phone!" on Tuesday to encourage amateur videographers to turn their phones horizontally while filming

Accompanied by his signature acoustic foot-tapping style, the video follows Mann as he gently corrects people filming vertically as he walks around Brooklyn, New York. He advocates for shooting horizontally because it allows you to capture more in a single shot. He sings, "I wanna see that subway spat / I wanna see that roomba cat / I wanna see your baby laugh / I wanna see that bunny bath" along with the images of poorly filmed videos of said events.
