so people with a real camera are not allowed to participate ?....

@seckorama | May 20, 2026, 9:02 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Why not? Just short and 9:16 :)

@stresskiller | May 20, 2026, 9:08 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

The video can be shot on a phone or created using AI , my bad i was reading to fast and thought it had to be made on a phone or AI

@stresskiller | May 20, 2026, 9:10 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

yeah that 9:16 is not going to happen i hate it when people film that way :)

@seckorama | May 20, 2026, 9:29 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Well, that's not a movie, just a short. It's something different. Optimized for phones. But, in video editors, you can change the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 9:16, though the image will look a little different, of course. Short vertical videos (9:16) from mobile phones account for 30–50% (or more) of total internet traffic.

@stresskiller | May 20, 2026, 10:43 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

it's a bad format to watch on a 4k monitor / tv , that is why i dislike the format . but i guess you are aiming at the mobile users.

@seckorama | May 21, 2026, 8:37 a.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

Well, younger people don't watch TV... 9:16 isn’t just a video format—it’s a symbol of a new generation of communication: fast, intimate, accessible, addictive, and very personal. It has changed our relationship with fame (anyone can go viral), with truth (deepfakes, filters), and with time (who watches a 10-minute video anymore?).
Vertical video fills the entire phone screen (which 94% of people hold upright). That’s why it feels very personal—like FaceTime or a selfie. You feel like the creator is speaking directly into your eyes, without that “distant” movie theater feeling. This creates a stronger connection, trust, and engagement. (That's by Grok, I'm not smart enough to write something like this 😎)

Thanks. This looks nice. Yeah, there were some issues for a few days because 3spk upgraded the infrastructure. But now it's ok.
