Are Horizontal fancams officially DEAD?

I was watching some old 2nd gen fancams and realized how much the industry has changed.

Now it’s all about the 'Vertical' (Portrait) view for TikTok and Reels. As a trainee, I’ve started practicing my choreo specifically for the vertical frame. You have to be so much more precise because the camera is so close! Do u guys prefer the cinematic wide view or the close-up vertical view? Does it change how u dance?

Vertical for the facial expressions, Horizontal for the formation!

I hate how Vertical cuts off the arms and legs sometimes... give me the full view!

Vertical makes u look 2x faster. It's great for dance challenges!

I miss the old wide-stage vibe, but Vertical is definitely the future.

Vertical feels so much more personal, like you're dancing just for me!

So true! Vertical cams leave zero room for mistakes because they're so zoomed in.
