Re: Requesting "Full-field" Match Video for Webcasts from FIRST

While I can definitely understand the desire for something like this from a team standpoint for scouting, etc.. I believe the viewing public would be completely bored and tune out after 15 seconds if all they can see is the whole field, no details, no real action shots. The feed was as you suggested many years ago, and it was tedious to watch a whole match, let alone any length of matches.

Which brings me to a question - Are you suggesting NASA *only* feed the full-field, or that they have full-field in addition to the regular feed?

I think a more apt suggestion would perhaps be to work with the production staff more extensively on the game, how it's played, and what makes valuable close-up time; having a commentator for the webfeed itself, separate from the GA/MC, would also be another possibility.
