The directing and camera work on the video sent out to the NASA channel and the webcasts. I simply don't think that the folks doing it are familiar enough with the subject matter to produce an excellent product for their audiences.

I have little doubt that they are fine craftsmen, but as a viewer, I felt that they far too often concentrated on the wrong things or on the right things at the wrong times.

PS: The webcast feed froze very often on my home computer. Ensure that all parts the video server end of the feed(s) (number crunching and I/O bandwidth) have the capacity they need, plus a comfortable margin of safety. I realize that there can be bottlenecks on my end of the feed and that FIRST/NASA can't solve those.
