    That video will not capture the total environment that existed, and that you missed because you were trying to video it.

    My wife’s family owns a fireworks store. We demo fireworks every year and record them on my phone. We post them on the store’s YouTube channel. We have people that watch and comment on them all the time as soon as we post them. We also have QR codes on our price tags linking to the videos so people can scan them and watch while shopping and it is an extremely effective tool for sales. But we might be the exception.

    I met the neighbors who talked about their trip in Europe, and then proceeded to show me a 2 minute video of fireworks in Paris off their phone.

    It wasn’t even like a good shot or framing, nor could I tell it was Paris. It was just a random hotel room, and in the background, fireworks.

    She then put her phone away and said, “Neat, huh?”

    I don’t know if it was just peak comedy or if I was being Punk’d or something.

        It’s a time honoured thing from back in the day when you took your camera with you on holiday, your roll of film had 36 exposures that you had to ration and think carefully about where and when to use them.

        So when you got back and had your photos developed and printed, you had 36 photos to share with people.

        Now you can take thousands of pictures per day with your phone and there’s no life to any of them as you force people to swipe through them.

          You forgot the days of “taking reversal/slide film photos and inviting friends over for the holiday photo slideshow”

          Big tech tries to help, automatically making short videos with meh music and a few questionable photo choices. Perhaps sometimes better than swiping through 200 unsorted photos, made more likely if removing/replacing bad photos accordingly.

          I think Apple can do it on device if I’m not mistaken, which mostly removes the creepy factor.

          I do like how my refusal to ever albumize/tag anything has been given such a soft landing!

    I didnt see the fireworks since we were at my parents house for the day, but we had a bunch of smaller fireworks to set off in the backyard. I took 1 video of it that was like a minute long and panned to my parents and my kids because im starting to get to the age where I realize that my parents won’t be around to much longer, or if they are they wont be like they are now and my kids are just growing so dam fast. I hope one day, it will be nice to have this one min video to hear everyone laugh and play from this moment in time.

      But of course, the one time, the band does something special (like play a cover of a song they’ve never done before), there is no chance of finding a video afterwards.

        I mean sometimes it’s better that way. I like watching live comedy, in dingy comedy clubs where there’s a strict no phones policy. A lot of the best stories all live in my head.

    I wanted to see some images or videos of fireworks in nearby areas to know what to expect but there weren’t any in the search results.

    Sadge.

    I’ve seen people record live shows with a tablet, you know to really maximize that view blocking

      I saw a person recording local villagers, who live in serious poverty, washing their clothes in the river near the Guatemala/Belize border – on a first gen iPad. I don’t think I had seen an iPad before. I wanted to hurt that man.

    Does literally nobody else here ever video something so that in twenty years’ time they have something to remind them of the day they went for a nice evening out and saw some pretty shapes and colours? Not everything has to be for going viral on YouTube.

    I only wish I’d shot more videos when I was younger, would be nice to retrieve some forgotten memories.

      I look at all my old pics, and I have many thousands, but tbh I never really watch old videos. These days I try to be a lot more careful about what’s actually worth a video and what should just be a picture and a memory

        That’s fine, as long as you’re not going round bullying others who feel differently about their own personal approach to scrapbooking their lives.

      That is the mentality of people recording these things, but you will soon realise that the scenario you are describing will never happen.

    The reason to film the fireworks is to possibly get content to send to Failarmy
