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

So to straighen this out.

The people who want a full field viewing camera want it to simply watch the match, and be able to watch whatever part of the field they want at any time instead of having a close-up on things they deem unimportant (aka. the ball return, dead robots, single robot struggling with a ball, ect). This side is also generally not at the match or wants to watch past video.

On the other side are people who feel that video needs to be close up and personal in order to be exciting. They feel that if the camera is zoomed out to far people will become bored and will not take interest in FIRST. They also think it won't give good material to work with for highlight reels.

In my opinion the full-field crowd has it right. Although the other side has a good point about the video not being very exciting. Perhaps if at each compitition the matches were all viewed from full field. However, the quarterfinals and Finals were taped by additional cameramen at different/closer angles for highlight reels and showing to future audiences to excite them about FIRST. This way the people who are viewing the webcast are happy, and there are still close-ups for video promotions and exciting people about FIRST.

My two cents
