Original – Wingsuit flight from Aiguille du Midi to Chamonix, France (elevations 12600 and 3400 ft respectively), includes proximity flying and a 360 degree roll.

Reason: A complete flight from takeoff to landing with natural audio and some informative captions. Good addition to the article and shows the subject well.

Oppose Wrong aspect ratio, needs editing of the intro. --Janke | Talk 21:41, 16 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Janke, I can edit out the intro but what's wrong with the aspect ratio? Bammesk (talk) 14:51, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bammesk The proportions are wrong (as on a 3:2 frame stretched to 16:9). The frame looks stretched horizontally/anamorphically by at least 10-15%. You can see it best when the camera rolls, and the shape of the subject stretches (at 1 min 33 sec, for instance). I don't think it's just the fisheye lens, but that the frame format has been changed from the original. --Janke | Talk 17:28, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Look at this example, note the vertical black bars: [[1]] Another thing: How is it determined that this is CC licensed? The original is an unlisted video on youtube... --Janke | Talk 17:59, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I see it, you are right. I am not sure how material the distortion is though. Let's see what others say. About the license, copyright owners are free to change their license after publication, I assume that's what happened here. That's why Wikipedia does a review at the time the image is uploaded to wiki, to verify. A CC license can't be undone later. Actually this was archived here in 2017, if you expand the owner's description box there is a CC note at the bottom. Bammesk (talk) 18:21, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
