Video: Friday Fails #224

 You know when you hear wind in the mic that someone is getting taken out airborn.

 More scorpions than a logpile in Baja.

 I wish I was still that flexible!

 He's not getting up from that any time soon. Out for the Count!!

 @gibbdaeh: luckily, I didn’t hit my head. I was worried I broke my helmet on the first ride

 Yeah, it hurt quite a bit. At least my only injury was a broken collarbone

 how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 @apokolokyntosis: As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood. You should be asking , how much wood could a wood duck duck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 So much rotation! How??

 That's what happens when you sit down going up a jump and your ass gets caught in the wheel at just the right moment. @mrosie:

 I don't use it but isn't portrait for Instagram postings? Always assumed that was the reason for the preference

 instagram stories hello?

 The quality of the crash should be proportional to the format its filmed in.
If its a cheap, stupid, throw-away type bail, go ahead at portrait it for insta/tiktok.
If your buddy has committed to huge-scale cinematic crash, you owe it to them to capture it in landscape for a high quality, equally cinematic YouTube compilation video.

 Portrait is fine and can be captured at the same resolutions as landscape when it's not being black-barred into a landscape canvas, the issue is often framing as landscape can be a bit more forgiving. What would be the best, IMO, is if FF's were sorted to all be one orientation or the other. 1st and 3rd landscape then 2nd and 4th portrait or something. Nearly all devices support rotation or are large enough to make it negligible for a video every other week, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who would appreciate the consistency from clip to clip.

 @pockets-the-coyote: I was thinking the same, but the issue is people watching on PC or casting to their TVs, do you try and rotate those screens or watch half the video with a crick in your neck?

 @ROOTminus1: Which way do I film if my friend hasn't decided yet whether or not to crash the bike?

 @ROOTminus1: All the videos for one day should be chosen so you don't have to rotate during playback. Then all the videos that don't match that scheme go into the video for the next week. Rinse and repeat. Sorting adds very little time to the process of cropping and stringing the footage all together, especially if you produce videos for both weeks at the same time.

 ...oh god...that *crunch* off camera....can only hope that was a pile of branches he/she fell on

 Can't type after the injury. . .

 outside of US there are other countries with other seasons in May

 @valrock:
It’s always fall somewhere.

At least on Friday it seems that way.
