Then there is the viewport for people who are watching from afar -- this is what I think the video is supposed to be for. Also, as there is only a single "official" video of the field, the one that gets on Blue Alliance etc, there should be an official record of what happen on the field, not artsy closeups.
I was watching practice day of Manchester and as it was practice day none of the camera crew was there, so they just had the "balcony" view. Which was good!

They should take the webcast and scouting feed out of the editing booth feed before it's edited so it is locked on the wider angles.
