This is the second time I've made a little movie in vertical format, forgetting that Apple's iPhoto doesn't allow rotation when it comes to movies. YouTube is a horizontal format. A movie format. The wide screen rather than the narrow vertical screen.
As opposed to books which are mostly in vertical format. And iPads and iPhones, which are in vertical format, more like books, but they don't open like books.
My first computer was an iBookG4. It opened like a book, but was "read" in horizontal format like a movie. Laptops are books that open to become movies.
Why can't I make a movie and play it vertically, except on my camera? Or can I but just don't know how?
I can imagine a movie theater with a vertical screen showing vertical movies. Why not?
Funny, the places that the mind goes when noticing patterns and relationships.
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
’Cross the valleys and streams
For they’re deep and they’re wide
And the world’s on its side
(Bob Dylan)
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
(Leonard Cohen)
The world looks different when you are lying on your side. If I recline like Buddha, I can watch my little movie as it was meant to be seen.
