Camera angles

Post by siedemnastka »

on surface it's not the right topic for this board, but in a way it actually is.

http://stats.nba.com/playerTracking.html - i've found myself deeply fascinated with the camera angle visible in a short video clip placed on top of this site

i'd love to have it available via my league pass.
obviously no angle is perfect, but i believe this one makes it easier to understand some parts of the game.

it's easy to tell the actual distance between defender and a shooter.
symmetry makes it easier to understand teams' both defensive and offensive philosophy/tactics.
i'm pretty sure that, being used to what we've seen for years, we underestimate tricks that perspective plays on our minds.
