church on the couch

Today was a cold day (no I didn't see any penguins) and I decided to keep warm and skip church.  Happily, to ease my guilt feelings, I remembered that our church is now live streaming the services so I watched the service on my computer.  Our head pastor started her welcome comments with "when two or three are gathered in his name" so I assumed I wasn't the only one who stayed home and stayed warm today.  It was interesting to see the service from the perspective of a camera perched in the choir loft.  I was able to hear the entire sermon which was very good, with a nice close-up of the pastor, but I did note some things about the production that I would like to see changed.  Of course no one has asked for my opinions but when has that ever stopped me? My number one concern was the fact that during the choir's anthem the camera stayed firmly aimed on the sanctuary steps where nothing was happening.  Shouldn't it have been aimed at the choir?  I know this live streaming is still a learning experience for our church but aiming at the action seems kind of obvious.  I'm sure the production will improve.
