Re: Directing the cameramen

It is real interesting to read the comments about the camera crew as I ran a camera in one of my past lives. Most often the camera crews have little knowledge of what is important, especially when it comes to something out of the ordinary like FIRST robotics. They try to record what would normally be exciting images, like car wrecks (robots tipped over) or operator or driver images. Camera operators are taught to record People when ever possible. If we could in a very nice way inform the camera people that the field is more important than the joysticks this might lead to better images on the big screens for all of us to enjoy. Gracious Professionalism even with the camera people.
