A First For Everything (Vertical Video)

As a serious filmmaker, I never imagined I’d produce a vertical video. However, I took on this project as an experiment in research and development. My goal was to assess the time, resources, and creative energy required to produce a one-minute reel for Instagram. Surprisingly, the process turned out to be rather enjoyable.

Incorporating psychology into captions, featuring the speaker, and showcasing visuals all posed interesting challenges. It required walking a fine line between keeping the pace brisk and avoiding sensory overload. This delicate balance reminded me of my experiences as a music video producer in my twenties.

What are your thoughts on vertical video and very short-form content? It’s a topic that sparks curiosity and debate within the filmmaking community.

I’m embedding the Youtube version also seeing that Insta can not make up their minds about the business of embedding.
