Vertical Video

Erbil Loop.mov

Each site should create vertical video for display at Portals around the globe. See the video above as an example.

We want the video to be 90 degrees rotate so it is tall, not wide, and fits in the 9x16 aspect screens below, shown on a 90" TV as below.

People 7 feet from the camera should be roughly life, size, meaning, filling 2/3 of the frame. This should be the benchmark for all shots, which means that the horizon line will move based on where that horizon line is out in the world. The idea is to create the feeling of a human being looking through a window into another site at eye level. The camera should therefore be roughly at eye level.

The footage should be ideally above 1080p, so we can zoom in and resize as needed and still display it in HD.

We ideally want the image shot with a 50 degree field of view (narrow, not wide-shot), and at a height of about 5 feet off the ground, to mirror what a human eye would see.

It would be great to get shots at different times of day, if possible, showing scenes from daily life.
