It's nice that you wanted to document this concert, Travis, but I think you may not realize that the more you zoom in on a cell phone, the more you lose resolution/sharpness. That's why when you look at, for example, the 9:00 mark, Mellencamp's face is almost totally blurred out. So even though this video is listed as "HD" by RUclips (1920 pixels x 1080 pixels in each frame), it's really more like 360p (640 pixels x 360 pixels in each frame) given all the digital zooming you did. The end result is no different from shooting from far away and then cropping the video after the fact.
I don't have the best camera on my phone. I record these for me to enjoy again and again and mostly only listen rather than watch. I've been pretty shocked to get all these followers as I simply find this an easy place to store the songs I enjoyed hearing live.
@@travisboley8521 Understood, it's cool that you're enjoying this hobby. They say with great power comes great responsibility. Now that you have the followers, maybe you'll decide to get a new phone with a better camera. ☺
@@travisboley8521 Pocket-sized digital cameras with decent optical zooms are pretty cheap these days. Definitely cheaper than the phone you used for this video.
