They are nervous, I'd say. Especially moving your weight from left to right (in and out of the frame) does not help the presentation at all. But sure, if you do it on purpose because you think it helps, by all means, move however you want. We will do our best to track you. I'm mainly thinking of unconscious moving. But sure, if you are nervous due to the huge audience, you will think of other things and not that - which is why we don't approach speakers about this before their talk.

Makes sense, thank you. Are there ways you recommend to combat stage fright or nervousness? Is there light movement you recommend which isn't annoying for cameramen? Can the problem be solved on your side by better equipment? Cause I know a certain neurotic ADHD stand up comedian who got perfectly recorded on video on his shows (example [1]) [1] http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2832384 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2832384

  Walking around slowly and predictably can be fine. I find it the hardest when people barely move enough so that the camera has to follow only a little bit - but wait it's fine now, oh no they moved out of the frame just enough so I have to do something - oh wait they're back.. You'd think this could be solved with the proper zoom angle but then the pros get on your case with too much headspace, unfavorable body cut lines and never forget to never film the audience. I just talked to a speaker for tomorrow who, from the video material, assumed they'd be talking in front of maybe a hundred people. They're scheduled for room B which holds about 2000 and got a shock.. so the dimensions look quite different on the stream. The issue can be mitigated by a better filming crew really. The mixer is really important for coordinating (when the cameras do random stuff once in a while you probably have a inexperienced mixer who uses the intercom too little). It's possible to follow the speaker well enough if the mixer gives breaks and the camera tripod settings are right for you. Special cases get an experienced crew. Not sure about the stage fright. I think it depends on the details actually, but I'm still working on that too.

    Interesting. Is this a recent problem? I mean, CCC moved to Leipzig because of more room over there, right? So I was thinking, that the rooms would be bigger due to that as well. Perhaps due to that things like stage fright occur more commonly or often and that could make it a thing to consider or train for. Maybe some kind of unbiased, informative articles or online training could be recommended.

      It was moved because the old building was demolished. Not sure if the rooms are bigger, it looks similar actually. Maybe a bit. A guide would be good though. I'll suggest it further.
