Re: Directing the cameramen

A few people have nailed this one on the head. The video provided at regionals is created for the spectators at the event. I do think that a production could be put together to satisfy both those at the competition and those watching at home. The fix to this is a larger production company unfortunately. You'd need at least 3 cameras, and the addition of a director. Currently most regionals have 2 cameras and a director/technical director (switcher) as one person. It's difficult to switch and look at make a decision on what to switch to at the same time. It can be done, but when a person only sees FIRST events once a year, it's difficult.

:WISH:
I'd like to see the regionals become more produced to be like a TV show. The announcers in Pittsburgh did interviews after some matches.
