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

Football and baseball both have close-ups and almost full-field shots. When we're watching the running back (I guess, I don't follow football) run 20-yards and scores a touchdown, there's a few dozen(?) players not being shown at the time. Each one of those players have friends or family that are probably watching the game, yet that one guy and the two or three people trying to stop him are the main focus at the time, because a vast majority of the viewers don't care about the entire team of both sides while a touch-down is being scored, they just want to see the action. Now, I realize that football and baseball have one game piece to follow, which makes following the action with cameras easier, but that's not really the point I'm trying to make.

Why not make that point? Maybe FIRST games should have a single, or at least fewer, object(s) for the camera to focus on <cough>2008<cough>. Then, FIRST should tell the camera crew that that is what they should focus on.
