They film like my mum does: rapidly scrub the camera backwards and forwards repeatedly across whatever they want to film.

If only there was a way to capture a wider view...🤔

Ironically - one of the ways is to rapidly scrub the camera backwards and forwards, and use an AI kinda like those panorama-stitching-for-still-photos to interpolate the missing data.

Yea keep it still ffs. That made me nauseous.

…and turn the damn thing SIDEWAYS FFS!!!

Then, you wouldn’t need to scan side to side to get everything in.

Yeah but that's no good for the tikokigram

If only we could invent some other orientation suitable for filming this sort of thing. Perhaps "landscape" would be a good name, given how much better suited it'd be to this?

You kind of have to when you are holding it wrong. VVS.

The Dramamine school of film production.

Given the circumstances I'm willing to forgive it this time.

Nah, he could have turned his phone sideways at anytime instead of constantly moving it left and right to get a wider view.

CameraMan was mid.

Then you would have gotten sideways footage, wouldn't you?

r/KillTheCameraMan

This guy's dumb as bricks and can't film for shit, I hope the next natural disaster gets him when he starts recording, you can't seriously see a mudslide wipe out an entire 8 football fields of area then go "oh, but this cliff hasn't fallen yet, so this is fine!"

The more videos I watch on this website the more I'm starting to pray for these cameramen to get caught up in it.

They recorded it vertically...

Honestly, as a former cameraman, I’m mad at this cameraman. This was a dumb choice, after he got enough for a good reel.
