Educational video about the dimensions of aspect ratio, covering both the mathematical and ethical implications of the frame. This presentation's original aspect ratio is 1.33:1, or full frame.

  • That's likely a difficult hurdle to overcome. A good comparison would be the number of times the government has tried and failed to introduce the metric system as the standard system of measurement to be taught in schools. Since 4:3 was first, it's going to stick around for a long, long time.

  • How many people here hates the ratio this whole clip was edited in, like me??

  • @ormaisazio Unfortunately, when I made this, standard TVs were still very prevalent, and YouTube's own aspect ratio was still 4:3. They did not give me an option to maintain my original ratio, which sucks. Maybe at some point in the near future I'll re-edit it to fit 16:9 dimensions.

  • I was enjoying the video until the end... It's messed up... What have Christians or bible readers done to you to deserve this much hate?

  • @racenuke The end has nothing to do with Christians or Bible readers or people of any religion. Choosing the Bible as my comparative object was simply done for visibility, impact, and budget. I didn't have any works of art to tear up, and as someone who loves film more than anything else, watching people fuss with aspect ratio is as painful to me as Sinead O'Connor ripping up a picture of the pope is to the devout.

  • I would just like to say THANK YOU for the explanation of the aspect ratio in terms that were both informative and understandable.

  • The ending is great.

  • watch?v=04i3DcH42mw what aspect ratio is that?

  • I was grateful for the information. I enjoyed and gained a lot of knowledge. I would consider a different ending. I was shocked!

  • What I want to know, is when when "full screen" will stop being refereed to as either full or "standard". It is neither now. Wide screen is now standard and should now be considered both standard and full screen, while the old standard should be pillared or partial screen. Especially for the younger generations. You know who you are; the ones who have never lived without the internet and smart phones. :p

  • never had i had so much fun watching a video for my multimedia exam.....wooot film majors!

  • it's too wide to be letterbox at 0:40... sorry if someone already noticed that :P
