We’re working to get 100 percent of our videos vertical. We find the engagement much higher. Users are more satisfied,
and there’s a higher completion rate on them. Jon Steinberg, The Daily Mail

Now let us consider the near future. The next generation of screens will be wrapped around our eyes, projected into goggles. Maybe even embedded in contact lenses.
Our eyes are side by side. Virtual and augmented realities are unlikely to be in portrait.
Vertical videos may ‘look and feel right’ on our devices. But for how long?

#ProTips• Lightweight but sturdy bag is a must
• No. 1 rule for ‘mojos’ (and life) -- A.B.C.
• Can’t be all digital. Don’t forget notepad and pens.
• Try out new apps at home -- not in the field
• Get yourself organized! Use folders on your smartphone.
• Airplane mode is awesome when shooting (avoid interruptions)
• Best to zoom with your feet, not your fingers
