@ Ricky DB

Actually it's quite impressive for a first timer!
I think you did very well with what you had. Obviously there are limitations with fixed lens web cams, but when capturing a performance, you pretty much want to have a medium to wide shot to see the action anyway, and I think you accomplished that for the most part (even though it might have been a little too wide). If you are looking to make some improvements as your budget permits, I would look into adding another camera, preferably an actual video camera with an optical zoom. The advantage to having a camera with a zoom lens (whether manned or PTZ) is it gives your viewer a better connection to the 'characters' on screen if you can zoom into them periodically to see them close up, it also diversifies your content a little more for an overall better viewing experience. Web cams and GoPro's are great as auxiliary cameras and/or Blog and Skype cameras, but can fall out of their element if used as the primary production camera in some instances, but hey, we can't always have everything.

Keep up the great work and let us know how you make out on future projects.

Hi @Ricky DB

Get a cheap Ebay HDMI2SDI converter
Run a Coax cable to length required with BNC type connections.
Then have a SDI2HDMI at the other end or if can afford SDI Capture device.
(Length of signal can be up to 100m with HD before needing a booster)

The converters are only about $40 dollars on Ebay. But Blackmagic has now come to party
with cheaper converters at about $85 US from memory that have SDI loop through.

But the cheap Ebay models do the job great and have not had any issues.
