In terms of the McFly's and CCDG's of the world, it would be nice if a few of the independent filmers would pool resources and film separate cards. It would be nice to see more than the lead card, especially when you see someone jump places from another card. Unfortunately everybody seems to only want to film the lead card.
Trying to remember which tourney it was and who did the video but a few weeks ago one had the final nine that was both mpo and FPO together. I wish more of the big tourneys would do that to get the extra FPO exposure.
McFly, LCGM8, BullsEye, and I (with 3-4 cameras) are all going to Worlds, and we're already talking so as to avoid this problem. I've tried to reach out to DG Planet in regards to this, but haven't heard back from them. Honestly I wouldn't mind having the DG Planet card filmed by one of us too. Not everyone can watch the live broadcast.

I've actually had Stu (TX chapter of CCDG) record chase cards, and FPO lead cards in the past to avoid this problem (TX States, and GBO). The first year I filmed Masters Cup I filmed the chase card both days as someone else was filming the lead card. That was the only time I've been to a tourney, and not been the only person filming (that I recall anyway).
Rest assured we're well aware of this, and will do our best to cover the most disc possible.
You also have to be sensitive to the fact that we're all separate entities, and filming lead cards is the best way to lose the least amount of money.

Glad to hear Worlds will have deeper coverage, Royal. I didn't mean for my post to sound snarky. I am more than impressed with all the work (it is hard work indeed) that all of you have done up to this point, and I look forward to seeing how it evolves.
Disc golf needs to film the FPO a lot more!
They are the ones that will make this sport grow..
I definitely encourage one of you to film the card dgplanet is filming.
Ian, it's great to see you all working to cooperate on tournament coverage. You all have great talent, not to mention the tons of motivation it takes to do this without any substantial financial reward. Packing CCDG, McFly, LCGM8, and BullsEye's talent into a single production would be awesome.
They say that 'no good deed goes unpunished'; I got a laugh from BlackCatSmith's, sarcastic/humorous post above, "I want a pony!"
I'm cheering for you all to find a way to monetize your efforts so that you'll keep it going.
I just put up a new vid if someone feels like linking it.
