As a culture we’re getting a ton of reps in live-via-the internet performances. As performers and as the audience.
That camera angle isn’t great, it’s not flattering but we’re getting used to it, it’s getting normal. You know the one. The camera is a little below you so you’ve gotta look down a bit. In the last few weeks you’ve seen everyone at that angle and they’ve seen you. For better or worse.
But the good thing about both normal and repetition is that out of it will come variance and better ideas.
Artists will come up with better ways to live performances and more creative ideas. They already are.
Everyone will learn how to position the camera to make the Zoom call more pleasing.
Zoom and all the others are racing to fix that latency problem and the video hiccups.
We are all in this together. That is: the middle of a crash course on how to make live video communication and connection better.
