If a video part isn’t a part of a video is it still a “part”?

[TheDingus]

Or is it the entire video?

[EdLawndale]

Examples?

A fraction is a portion of a whole, but you can get a fraction on its own and call it a "fraction" simply for the sake that it is lacking the remaining amount that would traditionally deem it a "whole"

[TheDraught]

I think it is called a "stand alone part".

As in: "Danny and Colins footage from the Hawaii mega was so good, they decided to release it ten years after the original full video as a stand alone part".

[DarkPools]

In my opinion, no. "Part" implies that it's connected to something else, a part of a whole. Everyone ran with "Skater X's West End Part" for naming standalone videos by skateboarders.

Technically, "Ryan Townley's 'Layers' Part" is actually "Ryan Townley's 'Layers' Video" (by my above explanation) since it's a standalone video and not part of anything else.

I'm not gonna go correcting anyone, nor do I think people are (or that it's worth doing). It's just how it is now, so we run with it haha

Some examples....
Kubota Umeki - Homies 2 Part
Ryan Townley's "Layers" Part
TJ Rogers' "Blind" Part
TJ Rogers' 2020 Part
Jackson Pilz' "No Reception" Part

Idk, broski. "Homies 2" appears to be a full video. And the rest of those shits are, like, 3 or 4 minutes long. Surely, run time factors into this somehow.

I mean, from what I can tell with the TJ and the Townley joints, instead of holding on to that footage in order to incorporate it into full videos with other riders -- as has been standard practice -- Blind and Welcome just decided to edit it and unleash those edits onto the world, maybe because they didn't have full-length videos on the horizon.

But those are parts, imo, just parts that were isolated and not incorporated into a whole.

I mean, look at it this way: a chef at a pizzeria can take a little bit of dough, squish it into a triangle, spread some tomato sauce on it with some cheese and sausage peppered on top, cook it in an oven and put it on a plate for you...but at the end of the day, it's just a slice of pizza.

But chefs at a pizzeria don’t make stand-alone individual triangle shaped slices, slices always come of a larger pie. “Slice” implies a fraction of a larger whole, that example would just be a small triangle shaped pizza.

[EdLawndale]

But it's the same ingredients turned into an identical shaped portion pursuant to our preconceived notions of what constitutes a slice of pizza, based on tradition. It's a slice of pizza like those TJ Rogers edits are skateboarding parts.

I think something like this is more akin to a personal pan pizza, as opposed to a slice:

yes.

Is a video still a video if it's not on video?

[TheDingus]

If On video is on film, is it still On video?
