Great Video. We currently have 5 cameras. There are traditional larger broadcast cameras and two box cameras on the stage. We are looking to add PTZ cameras to the mix to get more creative content for the online audience
I am glad he is discussing the issue, but he is wrong about changing shots every 1-2 seconds. They do that for action movies, but not for every kind of show or movie. I have clocked it. For talking heads, commentators, it is about every 20-30 seconds, sometimes longer. For music, it varies based on the speed of the music, but generally every 3-8 seconds.
Your guide for slower switching speeds is better. I find changing shot every 2 to 3 seconds tiring to watch. Some with disabilities and many older people especially as vision & cognition declines. I don't want to be distracted that much when I'm focused on singing along and when listening to the sermon.
Excellent explanation! Thanks for sharing! Im intrigued how youre able to write on screen, how did you accomplish that? Is that an app? Thanks for responding
For main camera: The widest zoom on the PTZ should cover the widest view of the stage/room to get an idea of the audience/congregation. Close enough so you can zoom in to the smallest area of interest eg. shoulder+head of speaker/leader, guitar neck. Most zoom lenses will have a smaller aperture (Fstop) when fully zoomed in so if you only used the 30% to 100% zoom range you need more light & other compromises. Extra cameras don't need room wide views.
This is amazing video, great perspectives to get the camera and video directors to begin story telling through the camera

You can air your view without saying he's wrong

Just using an iPad app, drawing on green and keying it out in the software. :)
how far is the ideal placement for a PTZ camera to the stage to maximise the quality of the video?
