Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) announced that he would not drop out of the New York City mayoral race this week. On Tuesday, however, he dropped a new video on Threads with no commentary, showing him jumping a man's car. Cuomo is shown with a young man of color whose car appears to have broken down...
Gotta love these aging dickheads who just used POCs as props all the fucking time. This asshat staged these exact same situations for years and put them up as PR bullshit.
Also, did they think this was going to look candid or something? Why was there one camera at Cuomo's car, then another in the other dudes car? Just two people happened to be filming this TOTALLY NATURAL everyday thing with multiple positions and cameras?
Come on, at this point he's just there to get donations, pay his friends some money for shitty ads and pocket the rest. I would say that the morons are the billionaires still giving him money but for they it's pocket change and they'll will get political favors from the party one way or another.
edit I’m not saying portrait is better. I hardly ever use my phones cameras. But most videos on the internet from the past 10 years are portrait mode.
Honestly I fully disagree on the 10 year mark. I'd say about 6 years ago the normal response to a portrait mode video was "what the heck is wrong with you, turn your phone sideways, only complete newbies shoot vertical video", our monitors are landscape, our TVs are landscape.
However, then covid hit, and tiktok became the popular video platform... and everything reversed.
My point is, pre-tiktok shooting landscape video was basic use 101. Maybe your grandpa would shoot vertical, but your teenage kid would know to turn the phone sideways. So I'd say it's either "bare minimum competence 2018 and below", that yeah I guess became "near professional" post tik tok. But to me it just says amature who hasn't paid attention to current media formats.
Because I'd feel that someone who was "professional" would have shot it vertical for tik tok today, as that's the platform to reach new people.
