While it's definitely outside of traditional filmmaking, I hope that a day comes where vertical does make it's way into cinema more. I shot a feature back in 2020 in a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio. It's a really fun canvas to work in as a cinematographer. It's absolutely not for every project, but I do think that experimentation is the way forward for the medium, and aspect ratio is a great place for filmmakers to try new things. I guess it comes down to being intentional with creative decisions. Don't shoot vertical just because it's whats trending.
Our arms and hands are also horizontal, so always holding a camera vertically just doesn't make sense. Also, a very niche audience you could market vertical cinema toward would be flounder fish.
And they recorded this horizontal 😅 vertical videos is something natural. We still got eyes placed horizontal, but video formats always depends on needs. 4:3 because of television. Other ratios been for cinema screens. Now we have need for another important screen, which is our third hand - a phone.
44:33 Oh yeah, absolutely. UA-cam is filled with poor information so that even I, being at the start of my career as visual creative, an spot so much crap, and it’s frustrating to see that complete beginners will be influenced by a bunch of garbage. I know a LOT more about music production and audio than visual media, and it almost makes me ANGRY that even some of the most successful and influential gear/filmmaking youtubers are, frankly, pretty incompetent in that field. Yet they’ll make a video that gets hundreds of thousands of views and people trust believe that they’re getting quality information. I could start a UA-cam channel if I had any desire to do that. And I could "teach" a lot of stuff. But really, I’d rather keep my mouth shut and listen to people who actually know their stuff and learn from them. Otherwise, I’d mostly add to the noise that I, as a consumer, struggle to sift through when I’m searching for good information.
What about Music Video ? Reels in 9:16 are getting all the glory (and budget) because that's on TIKTOK and in reels that your grab your fans, not on TV anymore....
This was a great conversation! Thanks lads. Braxton with the fire "we've stopped shooting for the print and started shooting for the posts." 🙌

36:38 Does anyone know which instagram account Eric is referring to? Would love to check it out.
@theverticalmovie and @volentless
Hey, does anyone have a link to the Mosaic newsletter that they mentioned. I can't remember the timestamp as I was listening in the car.
Hi Tom, we just added it to the description! We had only linked it in the audio versions on Spotify, Apple, etc.. Sorry for the confusion!
@@rallycapspodcast Hey, no worries. Thank you for adding it!
