Poll: What angle do you prefer for solve videos?

[Malkom]

I've been thinking about uploading some solves but don't really know what angle to film from, what angle do you prefer?
examples for the alternatives

POV is the best imo, but headcams are annoying to work with, so I usually have it facing me

POV is my favorite personally, because then I am able to see exactly what is going on in the solve. However, for the sake of seeing reactions, I think the ideal set-up is a dual angle: one POV, and one facing the person like in the second video you showed (kind of like what I did here).

Over the shoulder or POV are the best options if you just want to see the solves. But it's really your choice, if you want to catch reactions then having a cam facing you is great too.

Edit: POV is probably better than over the shoulder for angle purposes, but not very many people have a gopro (or whatever) and I dunno how comfortable it is.

Over the shoulder is good. POV is alright. In my case where I cube has god enought room for over the right shoulder. POV can be a bit annoying since you might have the cube just out of frame.

Whats POV? is it first peson view?

Yeah it stands for point of view

Whats POV? is it first peson view?

It stands for Point Of View. On the internet it means the cameraman's point of view.

I personally prefer a good over the shoulder angle.

EDIT: Ninja'd!

POV is kinda best but it can shake a lot sometimes. I voted for over the shoulder since it can offer almost the same angle but with camera still.

I find the shakiness of POV very annoying and it makes the solve harder to follow. Over the shoulder is better for being able to follow the solve, even though you don't get to see exactly what the solver sees
