Camera angle for Pedal steel videos

Post by Alex Cattaneo »

Guys, what is your favorite camera angle for pedal steel videos? Do you want to see the pedals? A la Mickey Adams, where the camera is in front of the steel? Or like David Hartleys Crazy Arms, from up above? From the side, a la Joe Barcus? Like David's Jambalaya? Let's call it the studio view. Any other?

Davids Crazy Arms. You can see the entire fretboard and even see the pedal action.
