A new format for videos–square, not widescreen

3 May, 2017 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

There have been a number of studies and articles over the last few months promoting the popularity of square screen videos.The primary reason for this is that you can see much more of a video and the content (depending of course on the actual content) may be clearer on a square screen when viewed on your mobile device, which is how most video is viewed today.

I thought I'd try it with a quick overview of Mother's Day communications. I created this video in animoto. I'd love your comments on it.

Download File for ALL the communications above

 

Click here to go to download the ZIP FILE that contains all the files above. (5-10 minutes or more if you have a slower connection--but it is really worth it!) Needless to say it is a LARGE file--66 MB and it will take several minutes to download. Once you download it, save it on to your hard drive, simply click to unzip and the files will be ready to open in the various programs.

Let me know if this was too large of a file for you to download. I put all the files together to make it easier, but if it would be easier to have smaller ZIP files let me know and I will break it apart for you. Email me at yvon@effectivechurchcom.com if you need me to do this. I want to serve you.
