Each player should wear 2 cameras (or more depending on head size) on their head so we can see more angles. They should have microphones taped on the cameras. So it all doesn’t fall off they will have tape wrapped around their head and face but missing the eyes. That’s the beauty of wearing two or more cameras. If one malfunctions the play just continues uninterrupted using the other cameras. They should have microphones taped on the cameras.
