This is the brainchild of producer Rob Hyland. He claims it will put viewers closer to the action.
This clown is overlooking several things:
- The camera may be closer, but the action - at least to me - actually looks farther away.
- And the farther away you get from the camera is focusing on, the more disproportionately smaller the players get. In other words, a highly distorted picture.
- When you go go a game, you sit in one spot. Having a moving camera is dizzying...mentally if not physically.
This is a classic case of fixing something that isn't broke. And it's also a classic case of some pseudo-intellectual egotistically wanting to make his mark with his pet invention when there is almost zero demand for it.
