      I hate it too but there’s a reason books have a portrait resolution, it’s easier to scan when you’re holding it in front of your face

        takes a deep breath

        Okay, let’s do an autopsy of your reply:

        1. Books don’t have a resolution. They’re paper.

        2. “Portrait” is an orientation, not a resolution.

        3. Movies aren’t books.

        My guy, books were portrait-oriented because you can get more words on paper that way. They were literally made before phones were even a thing.

    Saw the clips. Not impressed.

    Outside of it being a new clickbait trend the movies, the example they are using lose way more because they are totally changing the scene composition.

    Consider the attention to detail and visuals in Akira. If they expanded the visuals to be portrait oriented they wouldn’t have such drab, empty, uninspired art in the added space. Which is exactly what AI does in this instance. It makes the examples (Akira especially) look less compelling, less focused, and in the event it does have something decently render takes away from the true composition of the shit so it ruins the content of said shot.

    My two cents.
