I think that camera movements could be much smoother and more organized if using an analog/digital controller like a standard Xbox 360 Controller, and had some idea's for the controller layout for casters to use.
Xbox Controller Casting Controls Proposal Layout:
Movement - Left Stick
General Aim of Camera - Right stick
R/L Triggers - Zoom (If Supportable) -or- Switch Through Players First Person Perspective
R/L Bumpers - Switch View Modes
Y Button (Yellow) - Cycle Through Alien Players
X Button (Blue) - Cycle Through Marine Players
A - Activate Mic?
B - Map
Back / Select - Show Scores / K/D's
I'm not a regular caster so again, just an idea. It might make your lives easier or it might not work with your flow. Either way, there it is!
Someday maybe we'll write some client mod that can cast a stream automatically (Focus on high combat areas, Show builds, Auto Camera AI, etc) for when a caster isn't available and a team want's to pipe something to twitch.tv
Thanks for listening. I think what you guys do is hard and I am greatly entertained by many of your streams!
