Vertical Video Syndrome & the iPhone

I have shown this video to a number of my friends who are showing me videos that they are shooting on their iPhones. It seems like it’s the easiest way to get the information out there in a gentle way with cute puppets……..

Basically, Vertical Video Syndrome (VVS) is a rash on our society, so I am out to correct it any way I can.  My friend, Lester Munson showed me this cool video above entitled “Rocket Man” from our ‘cabin society’ in Northern VT and while I LOVE this video, I do wish I could see what happened to that amazing rocket……(Click on Rocket Man above to see it).

I can’t remember who sent me this video a few months ago, but it is my go-to 'show and tell’ YouTube video I share when one of my contemporaries shares a video shot in “portrait mode” rather than “landscape”. Basically, turn your iPhone on it’s side to get the full effect that video can offer.

This rocket was built using materials from Michael’s Crafts Stores which I was told actually has a “Rocket Building” section which can be found in stores near the model airplane supplies area.
