Could set the camera up in some of the more common voidwatch spots. The western pop for Qilin, the Pil pop closest to Dominion zone, Kaggen nearest to the tower. Could also set it up in any Abyssea location. At least in those places you'd see some people, you know, doing things.

I agree with the vw suggestion, I have no idea how feasible this would be, but it would be awesome if somehow the live vana'diel camera was alerted when a group popped a vw mob, and cut to that location. Unlike abyssea NMs which can be moved around the zone, or sometimes move around themselves, VW would be the perfect spectator activity, since the locations are pretty stationary, and it's also the freshest content ^^
Not sure if this would be possible either, but placing the camera inside the NMs would be a fun perspective to watch.
Other, less appealing, but still fun ideas:
Beseiged
Campaign Battle

I've always wondered if the "camera" for Live Vana'diel was a perpetually invisible character or simply a dummy GM.
That comment about the camera warping off to different locations piqued my interest in that. If it was running on a GM like system, it could float from place to place, even across servers to where the action is. It could be programmed to detect epic fights, like Shinryu, higher-tier Voidwatches, and maybe even Neo Nyzul boss floors. To keep an interest about it, it wouldn't stay for any more than one fight so we're not watching a PUG's 4x run. -

Poke-err Pankration and chocobo races are things that flavor wise would be the events people in vanadiel would watch on a broadcast system.

I love Tu'Lia, it's one of my favorite places. That said, it might feel a bit spoilerish, since people have to be far enough in Rise of the Zilart to see that zone. I think Bibiki Bay is gorgeous, especially during its sunset. Boat rides might also be pleasant, as long as they're brief. The Sanctuary of Zi'tah is also gorgeous.

Also, certain rifts are really reliable places for people to be while fighting stuff, so this would assure some activity rather than folks just running past. That is secondary to my desire for a record of video-game-sadness, however!
