Markiplier GoPro
Definition
A popular recurring meme and trope in the gaming community featuring YouTuber Markiplier (Mark Fischbach), specifically referring to his tendency to mount a GoPro camera on his forehead or body for 'extreme' close-up shots during high-intensity or horror gameplay sessions.
A humorous descriptor used to describe footage or perspectives characterized by frantic, shaky-cam, hyper-focused angles that make the viewer feel like they are trapped behind the YouTuber's eyeballs.
Examples
If Markiplier decides to strap a GoPro to his head for this next horror game, my motion sickness is going to reach legendary status.
The footage looked like pure chaos, but that is the unmistakable aesthetic of peak Markiplier GoPro cinematography.
I tried to film my cat eating dinner with a GoPro on my forehead just to see if I could channel some Markiplier energy.
Some people want 4K high-fidelity gaming, but I personally prefer the terrifying intimacy of a shaky Markiplier GoPro angle.
