How the fisheye lens took over music

[@Vox]

Hello! It's been a while since I released a video with a playlist, but today is the day! Here's some of my favorite *fish themed* songs: open.spotify.com/playlist/0b3ZYuyvizQFCqsutwBg9u?si=VSB4J3g2Qji1qQE1a_VcaA

[@sirvahntahvgawd4792]

The real question is, what is the message he is trying to convey with the image? Do celebrities really want to desperately convey the idea that they are adrogynous. Why do celebrities insist on creating lies, chaos, confusion to their viewers/fans? What is the purpose of their existence? These celebrities are 100% serving lies and enjoy feeding these lies to their fan base.

[@xMorumoto]

Rachel Munoz why are you assuming that an androgynous image is a lie?

[@daverizz]

Love the fisheye. Been using it since I was a teen for skateboarding photography! Great video btw!

[@leostrikes3008]

Vox this don’t gotta none to do with Harry styles

[@tobore246]

999

[@FF-zi9zt]

In his single adore you, he has a fish friend, so the way that looking at his album cover makes you feel like the fish is very clever

[@submariene]

ohhh right

[@juliawilson9089]

dude I was just thinking that

[@juliawilson9089]

We are the fish looking at him. He adores us

[@Megan-yu2tv]

Julia Wilson omg

Interesting...

[@kshatriya1414]

You just waited for someone to release an album with a picture taken by a fisheye camera didn’t you?

[@nv6288]

It’s a smart tactic considering a title talking about “fisheye cameras” would be much less appealing than this.

[@kshatriya1414]

NV oh yes definitely. The small album cover deep dive was quite nice

[@Santeri64]

I've heard a story about this guy

[@perrydowd9285]

No

[@andrewgutmann9432]

Santeri64 From a Jedi?

[@whitelightning9670]

Vox: The real story behind this Harry Styles album cover 2 seconds later Vox: Physics

[@peterschmidt5583]

Thank god. I have no Idea who Harry Styles is and was just hoping for an interesting Vox video.

[@berreyl1689]

ahahahaha lol

[@TheHarryBates]

This was great

[@chehakbansal1185]

Lol, I'm disappointed

[@dgo792]

and history

[@juliawilson9089]

thought: the fish eye photo is an ode to the fish from Adore You

[@mariar6805]

Julia Wilson that’s exactly what I was thinking lol

[@josephcastano4598]

the fans are the fish.

[@Reggie_la]

@@josephcastano4598 the fans are fish looking up to the stars?

[@ellawadbrook571]

i think so too

[@malka2880]

No he is the fish. A small fish in a big pond turned big fish in a small pond. That’s the analogy. He’s too big to stay in one spot forever.

[@davidestrada4942]

I feel like I was tricked into learning scientific history

[@adagioborntrager4456]

David Estrada ‘tis their goal

[@arkai4087]

god forbid

[@Belioyt]

If science was taught this way, maybe more of us would contribute better to our society.

[@OO-ik6uy]

agreed

[@Mae-vc9jv]

I feel like I was almost tricked out of it I didn't click on this at first because I don't care about Harry styles but totally would've clicked a video called "music's obsession with the fisheye lense"

[@cuteagrawal]

I just watched something that *Harry* himself don't know

[@hesaidtpwk5661]

true ahahhaha

[@cuteagrawal]

@Marianne actually it was a joke..... But ok.... Have a nice day

[@carpediemearth]

@Marianne He probably doesn’t, he’s not very smart. If he learned it it’s cause someone told him

[@noimalexi7874]

Hahahhah that's what I was thinking

[@carpediemearth]

@Marianne Lol, he has nothing of insight to say, he sounds empty headed most of the time he talks, and he talks in cliches and what sounds like peddling what others say.

[@jaclpz]

Came here for Harry, stayed for physics.

[@hesaidtpwk5661]

same

[@spongboing2425]

Womp womp I bought a fish eye lens to make a rap video with a couple of friends

[@governmentofcommunistchina2772]

4 vanishing points

[@Its_Shazar]

The story behind Harry's cover -- or a history of the fisheye lens? Fishbait.

[@Hummabubba]

SHARK BAIT OO HAH HAH

[@didij2171]

😂😂

[@iWillbike]

It’s hard to think about fish eye without mentioning skate videos.

[@zombieapocolipse69]

This is what I thought, the fisheye lens and skate vids go hand in hand

[@onceweallagree]

Will Ashe exactly. Hype Williams may have spread the use for hip hop, but Spike Jonze was famous for utilizing the style in skating for the alternative world. So it’s unfortunate they did not mention his influence as well.

[@zaeristo472]

This video escalated from a fun gossip video to a history lesson

[@freddiereborn9354]

I wasn't expecting this but i'm pleasantly surprised

[@oliviathemoon]

vox writes about the most interesting topics in such creative ways

[@raynelledirect348]

When I tell you I freaked that Vox made a video about Harry Styles

[@ray._.0004]

Ikrrr!!!

[@Witchy-Wonderland]

They didn’t...they made one about fisheye lens 🤣

[@preetirawat1155]

They just took the chonce to make a video about the history of fisheye lens

[@user-yn9os7uc1v]

They didn't...

[@LOVER_LINK]

his fans gon be real disappointed this isnt an 8 min vid about him

[@kathrynholt6894]

LOVER LINK definitely disappointed

[@harrystyles1054]

REALLY dissapointed 😔

[@LOVER_LINK]

At least y'all learned something

[@jennifer2675]

Nope

[@dayshawna]

i’m not disappointed, this information is new and good

[@tontonyuzon]

The better title would be: "The history of the fish eye lens and why it's used for album covers"

[@karsim83]

Every channel needs them clicks!

[@greennumberthree]

not clickbaity enough

[@jemma-joon]

Not attractive enough! They did it just right

[@cristiv.4089]

Not a lot of people would click on that though.

[@anonmouse6337]

I almost didn't watch this because of the title. I thought it was going to be like the video where they over-analyzed that Taylor Swift song. Harry Styles fans far outnumber those interested in the history of the fish eye lens though.

[@HeartlandTuber]

Outstanding history lesson. Well researched and illustrated.

[@zaeristo472]

Vox paying attention to detail won my appreciation

[@JNava]

Vox: you know that one new Harry Styles album? It’s a fish eye lens. *proceeds to make a 8 minute video explaining what a fish eye lens is*

[@pierrewikberg]

A+ work. Groundbreaking lens.

[@IvanyaKosmos]

producer: let's add fish eye effect to the album cover garry: yeah, looks cool vox: PHYSICS TIME

[@sai-bi2rh]

Garry or Harry?

[@maqsoodahmedkazi6604]

*Harry

[@alissag5070]

Who's garry?😂

[@fatimakane8542]

i love garry styles

[@sachishrivastava6044]

He likes old music

[@addevale]

Harry Styles featuring a fish in Adore You mv and I didn't even notice that the album cover was on a fish-eye perspective. Very impressive!

[@malenaie]

i came for harry and ended up with a free history lesson 😳✌️

[@yourlocalsk8erkid353]

And then there’s the whole universe of skaters using this

[@Ch1ldish]

Chevy Cadiente Fr

[@Ch1ldish]

I’m saving up to get a vx1000

[@yourlocalsk8erkid353]

It's not A turkey dope dude the classic camera

[@romedion1536]

"So what all are you going to explain in the video?" Vox : "yes"

[@didemnuryayman6223]

I felt like I was witnessing a parallel world come to life when I saw vox and Harry styles together, this is just brilliant

[@arelizabarca3970]

Being a Harry fan gives me more education than school, excellent service

[@RenatoMelendezFroFro]

I love this video, amazing work guys

[@mutiarapasha8630]

Teacher: stop listening to that album and start do your work Harry's fans: it's physic mam

[@jupitired777]

I never thought I'd see harry styles on vox. I'm glad it happened (somehow)

[@davidkonevky7372]

Idk but it works perfectly with the round profile picture frame that all social media have

[@xoxoG03]

OMG WOW I NEVER THOUGHT THEY WOULD COVER THIS BUT THEY DID AND IM SO HAPPY!!

[@imurdoci]

Missed a huge topic about the use of Fisheye lens in the skateboarding scene

[@mitchell3483]

IMurdocI Exactly this

[@josevelazquez7818]

The fisheye lens’s loyalty has always been to the skate community ✊

[@1356071]

Fish eye lenses have also been a big thing in skateboarding too. I LOVE this video, being a big fan of music and photography.

[@hayati6374]

Manger: How many psychedelic references do you want? Harry: Yes, please Tpwk

[@rockstarkicking]

Came for Harry Styles. Stayed for the history lesson. Thanks Vox.

[@TheShazpants]

Vox, Estelle, this one got me. I appreciate the fisheye lens a little more now. Well done all around!

[@mparkerchavez]

Don't forget that the fisheye lens has also been a huge part of the action sports industry.

[@GalaFerrari]

Don't mind me but at around 7:01 - 7:03 it's hardly noticeable but you can catch a cool reference to Billy Corgan changing the title of the Smashing Pumpkins' album to "Gish" because "Phish" was already taken, haha. Also, this was such an interesting video!! Harry Styles is so precious as an artist and as a person❤

[@veridianr2490]

from harry styles to physics this escalated quickly.

[@Marcus-cf4ui]

Title: The real story behind this Harry Styles album cover Actual title: *History of the fish eye lens*

[@NateandNoahTryLife]

What effect to album covers actually have a listening experience? Can an album cover make or break the experience ?

[@peterschmidt5583]

They probably play a bigger role in selling albums, but that is diminishing as more people consume music digitally. Nowadays you could probably look at album artwork as helping to establish the artists brand, I guess, although that was probably always the case as well.

[@BooringBoo]

I'm not gonna lie, I expected it to be a pop culture take on Harry Styles, not one of your best and most researched videos. Kudos.

[@tananshahuja9877]

This video has a charm in it. There goes no week that i dont rewatch this video. Every week once.

[@bladewolf39]

I bought a fisheye lens And made a rap video with a couple of friends It goes "waughmp waughmp" All the ladies and mens They know everything is better with a fisheye lens

[@neet3691]

I didn't knew I needed this video. Vox surprises me sometimes.

[@bilawal]

So amazing to see the rich history of the fisheye lens, which even today help us capture the world in 360 and 180 degrees for that signature action camera perspective, virtual reality video (some examples on my channel), 3D mapping and reconstruction, remote sensing and lest we forget - the wide angle selfie 🤳 :-)

[@mobius273]

IT GOES WAUGHMP WAUGHMP! ALL THE LADIES AND MENS, THEY KNOW EVERYTHING LOOKS BETTER WITH A FISHEYE LENS!

[@MarshuTheBurninator]

Woke up this morning in a rap song video…

[@kihunipunk]

Vox for KZbin channel of the year. Man, am I glad I found you guys this year.

[@michaelsponseller5337]

vox-*talks about the fisheye* also vox-*doesnt talk about skate filming*

[@Doellimann]

Nice video! A few years ago I’ve bought a Minolta MD Rokkor 24-50-x not a fisheye-lens but 24 is a pretty good wide angle. First it was just a experiment to see what it would be like to shoot in such a low focal length but this lens became my working horse. It totally changed my style of photography. Today’s understand why these lenses go for over 250€ an they’re totally worth it!

[@tigerbug]

I was really hoping this would be a bout psychedelic music from the 60s and 70s

[@limbu13]

I always like the way how they include the inventors.

[@nopuedo3488]

this was insanely interesting thank you!

[@mayaramariano9977]

That’s why I love this channel 💛

[@maryannemoll]

Love this! I’ve been alive for some time so I have seen my share or fisheye music album art, but never really knew the history behind it. Thanks for this video!

[@ЖаннаЖанна-н8с]

It’s so beautiful thanks💕💕💕 such a good vibe

[@anakiwis315]

YALL REALLY GO INTO DEPTH WITH EVERYTHUNG I LIVE FOR IT

[@mikeschneider4346]

This was such a great video! Well done!!

[@tzwacdastag8223]

2020 Phones might be having these

[@carrotman]

You can buy a fisheye phone lens for a fiver on amazon.

[@navneet1464]

2020 eye* phones you mean?

[@lyricking6514]

i had it in 2014 in my phone

[@rowewills]

Came for Harry stayed for Physics that I'll never need in my life.

[@erammahboob5475]

Rowena Williams every source of knowledge makes you less dumber than you currently are...

[@codename495]

You don’t need Harry and what did he teach you?

[@NothingLikeAGoodWork]

Really nice vid, thank you :)

[@kerimtd]

YOU GUYS MAKE THE BEST VIDEOS!

[@merdesang]

I loooove fisheye photography. Thank you!

[@TristanBailey]

Another great walk on the music photography wild side

[@emppuv6083]

Did not expect all of this but I'm not complaining! Super interesting :)

[@FujitheChef]

This video was great! I own one of these lenses and it was cool to see the history about it. Amazing work!

[@popshop-me]

Great clip as usual! Love your music series!

[@cruzada07]

I like the way Harry Styles fans analyzed the whole picture like a project

[@tamaraturner4280]

I probably won’t care about a single song on the album, but that cover is in the running for best album artwork of the year in my book. It has me fascinated.

[@l95ve]

i literally just wanted to see how many videos or albums had used fisheye lens but i kinda love this more than i except

[@abgrafix]

you people got the best editing teAM

[@AlphaHealthYT]

You are such o good reporter and producer!

[@RC-qq6bu]

not what I expected and I am HERE FOR IT

[@yugiohyoutuification]

Really interesting episode since when I think of fisheye lens I typically think of skating videos instead of album covers

[@alex0125tw]

Love his music & style :)

[@paigemclachlan2189]

This was actually really cool!! 🥰

[@gracebrumbach7994]

This made my day :) it combines 2 of my favorite things, harry styles and vox videos!!

[@skate4086]

fisheye lenses are famous for used in skateboard videos as well.

[@hogpsking33]

I kept hoping you'd talk about Skateboarding videos. That's where I first learned about fish-eye lenses.

[@alexandraami]

This channel taught me more than my school

[@engraverarnold9416]

loving this series!

[@liaf3iry]

I was tricked into watching 7 minutes of physics. I have midterms to study for, which I was trying to procrastinate, and now I’m watching science videos. *Great.*

[@swapniltripathi1279]

I love the way you presented it.

[@wtflalit]

This is some next level promotion of an upcoming music album.

[@elyy0345]

It already came out but yes

[@Mgtowfreedom]

very interesting doco on the history of the fisheye, I love them

[@rigo5769]

This video is like when you write an essay in school, you start kind of good and then slowly go off topic. classic

[@BluebirdBroadcast]

Amazing editing and inf too❤

[@sokemany]

The fisheye lens was used most in skateboarding. Specifically the Vx1000 camera and the MK1 fisheye. The fisheye lens is most prominently used for close shots as well as to make obstacles look bigger.

[@TheTravisLMiller]

Seeing people post their fish eye photos on Facebook, I grew I loathe the fish eye lens. This video though highlights great examples of how to actually use it correctly. I no longer loathe the fish eye lens.

[@adjective1863]

my favourite channel and a great artist wow

[@mariafitzfitsroy6505]

Marvellous, fascinating presentation. Thanks

[@abigailfigueroa9583]

I’m glad this video exists

[@taldrori]

The thing is, Tim Walker is taking photos with the fish eye lens for years now, regardless what had been said in the video. It is his visual language that he had developed over the years. You should check his "Garden of Earthly Delights" series.

[@oldaccount420]

when i got the notification for this i didn't even think it was real omg

[@freebird3004]

I needed that zoom of an angy paul mccartney

[@gregoryrockstar1992]

whomp whomp All the ladies and mens they know EVERYTHING is better with a Fisheye Lens!!! -Strong Bad

[@augustjohnson1649]

Can’t believe they didn’t say anything about skate videos

[@mehakkhakra9812]

I can never imagine vox running out of ideas...who could have thought to make a video on this ...but here is vox...and that's why I love it... coming up with the most amazing videos ever💝

[@vladakikh]

thank you for this video!!
