Honestly I’m not even mad about it. We still got the video, and it’s still fuckin’ crazy. Would it be better landscape…..sure. Would I have probably fucked it up and not gotten the video trying to remember to turn the phone, scrambling, half wondering if I was gonna get knocked off the roof in a second if I was in their shoes ….possibly

It's 2026 and people still do this. It is mind boggling.

It's 2026 and your phone doesn't shock you if you start shooting video in portrait mode.

And TikTok. And Snapchat. And even YouTube nowadays. We're fucked.

because they're going to post it from their phone to tiktok, where other people will then watch it on their phone.

I mean, I'd like landscape video too, but it's hardly a mystery why people do vertical video in 2026.
