2016 Webcast Camera Angles

[dellagd]

First, thank you so much for planning this stuff out! I can't wait to watch the MAR (FMA?) webcasts this year.

The most essential thing is to get that full field view from as high as you can. With all the defenses this year, that top-down view will really help.

As for other static views, I think the best would be to mount a camera on a tower like others have said, or even elevated above the tower for a better view. That could be the two additional static views, one from each alliance tower. If you'd like more variety, going in the opposite direction, it might be cool to have a static camera mounted really low looking through the clear guardrail polycarb for like a "robot's eye view" or something into the NEUTRAL ZONE.


Kinda off topic, but would it be possible to run the webcast from a different feed than the one shown at the events? It's really nice to get the shifting camera views when watching the projector at events, but when watching a webcast, a moving camera view leaving out parts of the field while the match is in play is honestly really frustrating. MAR may not even have the equipment to do this, but running that non-changing feed through just to the webcast (with FMS overlay) and the standard switching one to the projector at events would be so awesome. They could even be the same feed when not in a match, but just do different things when a match starts.

TL;DR Static top-down view during matches on the webcast pls
