Because no one hangs a tv that way...

 A pet peeve is the vertical video. Portrait mode video.

Yes, I know why. It's Instagram's fault. They were the first popular app that didn't allow for device rotation, and they were the first to pioneer app-first media creation.

And no Tik Tok is carrying that mantle (although they do now allow for "full screen" on videos that are able to scale widescreen).

As a television & film major in college I always bang the drum of landscape photography and video recording. We use iMovie and WeVideo to create movies. Movies we share on televisions. 

So I made this...


Is this an uphill battle? Maybe. Will I give up fighting for landscape video? Not until we start hanging the tv above the fireplace that way...
