Vertical Video test: Michael Jackson - Billie Jean live in Gothenburg 1997

WHY VERTICAL VIDEO? Although it has often been mocked as being degenerate, vertical video is now widely used for smartphones in apps such as Instagram and Snapchat. However, the main reason I made this video vertical is because the stage jumbotrons at most of the concert venues were vertical. This gives a more focused view of MJ, but at the cost of cutting off his arms or legs when he kicks or points off-frame. (Obviously, I will be uploading an uncropped version as well...) EDIT: Unfortunately, the video does not play back in its original resolution or frame rate on my smartphone. I only see 1080p option but it looks awful and is only 25fps.
