Re: Week 1 Observations

I disagree completely and I'm a video guy. I was watching the Dallas regional on a 46 inch TV from a few feet away and couldn't see anything other then small blobs stacking bins. When they pulled in for some quick b-roll I got a lot more satisfaction. If possible I would like less static shots and more unique camera angles. An issue i did notice was the short periods of which they actually stayed on the b-roll. I feel like if you gave it long enough people who readjust to the action. It's all opinion but I'm a video guy and hate static shots.
I think it depends on what you are watching for. If I'm just watching casually, because I want to see who wins, am trying to scout a particular robot that isn't being zoomed to, or am focused more on top level movement/strategy, the full field view is ideal (90% of the time).

If I'm scouting other robots remotely (for future events), or just curious how well ____'s robot/mechanism is working... a few B roll type shots of an intake as a robot is picking up a tote/RC are quite nice. The closeups as a robot is just zooming around the field are quite annoying though.
