       | made it super accessible to anyone to create/submit, and keeps
       | the content manageable.

       | Lovely. Unexpectedly I feel more immersed with the sound off.
       | When it's on it's like I'm watching just another video on the
       | Internet, and the wind blusters through the mic in a way that
       | sounds different to actually being there; whereas when it's off
       | the unnaturally complete peacefulness meshes with the sound of my
       | actual surroundings and the images seem to pop more.

       | Love it! I am fond of taking video while sitting/standing still,
       | usually in snippets of 15-30 seconds. Last year I started taking
       | longer videos and after showing some to a friend, thought it
       | would be amusing to do it again in one day and cut them all
       | together[0]. Text was tongue in cheek "shot on iPhone" shite but
       | anyway it's quite pleasant putting these things on in the
       | background when working.

         | Just tried this: first experience - beautiful sunset scene,

         | 
         | Very compelling as you click around the world though. Thanks.

       | How does this work in places like Germany with strict privacy
       | laws. Do you have to get the consent of everybody in the video?

         | I'm curious, if you shoot a street scene in Germany is that the
         | case? That you'd have to get everyone's permission? That seems
         | ... impractical.
         | 
         | It's a common misconception here in Australia. You can film in
         | public. I've had the public come up to me and try to tell me
         | about 'their rights' and I have to politely inform them that,
         | in this situation, they don't have any.
         | 
         | We got the cops called on us in central Melbourne because we
         | were shooting a music video outside a bank. There was an ATM in
         | the far distance and the bank's security guards were going on
         | about it not being legal to shoot. Again, politely, we told
         | them that we could in fact shoot on the public street.
         | 
         | The cops came. "This sounded a lot more interesting on the
         | radio", the guy told us. They left.

           | would be happening and we could get a refund if that wasn't
           | OK. No need under the law, but having the sign probably
           | deescalated many situations.

           | In general the legal standard which gets applied in such
           | cases is to check if the people are "Beiwerk". Meaning if the
           | persons depicted are not the focus of the picture and more or
           | less background props, then it is fine.

             | Yeah that's about the same here.
             | 
             | I can't, for example, shoot that street scene and then pull
             | your face out and use it as the hero image on my poster for
             | the new aftershave.
