The DP and I purposely turned the camera vertically so we were forced to shoot with a 9x16 5KHD frame rather than cropping in post!

Cool concept with solid execution

I had forgotten there was even an MX monochrome! Was the orientation done for expected playback on cellphones?

As Zeb said cool concept with solid execution. I thought the scrolling worked well.

Thanks Zeb! I know you're another monochrome owner, so this means a lot!

Yes! We rigged the camera vertically so we'd get the maximum resolution rather than cropping an image out of a horizontal frame. It also helped us figure out how exactly to frame up the image to where we wanted it
