Rent a kid...

For $100 or so you could have a student on the team (or someone esle that knows how the game is played and what to show) run a camcorder. The camera would be mostly full view shots, but could also zoom in on a subset of the field if the important action was there. The camera person would be told to do SLOW pans and not to stay zoomed in too close too long.

This would be a good compromise between a static full view camera and the MTV close ups that dominated the pictures I saw last weekend.

As to where the money comes from, let's pass the hat -- I will pitch in $10 to get us going. Where should I send my money? Any other donors?

P.S. Of course, I have no idea if this is even possible with the NASA set up, but if we don't ask, we'll never know. JJ
