Let the vertical movie happen. Force every zoomer to watch it. So they finally learn why it's important to rotate your phone before filming poo poo.

There was a 2014 movie called Mommy that had a perfectly square aspect ratio.

If your definition of "basically vertical" is "horizontal" then yes.

Kinda surprised that Quibi didn't make everything vertical format, tbh.

Actually, everything on Quibi has two different video streams, one horizontal and one vertical, and you can switch between them on the fly

In what universe is 1.43:1 "essentially square?" Like that's more pronounced than pre-widescreen tv. That's more pronounced than a 5x7 picture frame.

I wonder if they have some poor bastard manually resizing their content or if it’s automated and center cuts everything for a 9x16 aspect ratio.

Quibi seems to be pushing for different content in each orientation rather than just resized/cropped versions

Quibi is gonna flop really hard

The creators hand Quibi two formats, one vertical and one horizontal and Quibi "stitches" them together with one seamless audio track. Then its encoded to switch between the two. Id assume theyre almost all done manually, unless shot otherwise.

A lot of my clients have me reformat IG grid videos for IG stories and its a bit tedious, but Im assuming the editors working on Quibi stuff have a pretty solid workflow established to make it less tedious.

That Wizard of Oz origin story that starred James Franco maybe? Besides keeping the color gimmick the aspect ratio goes from 4:3 in Kansas to 16:9 in Oz.

The main scenes for Grizzly II: The Predator were completed, but before special effects featuring a huge electromechanical bear could be used, the executive producer, Joseph Proctor, disappeared with all of the funds, with some sources saying that he was jailed during the time of the filming. Filmed footage of a live bear, however, attacking a live rock concert, was shot in Hungary.

Ahh that explains it
