The reel camera looks where its wizard aims, never at a wall by default

Browse Source 
A9WK's clip showed the flaw: a turn owner who casts without moving left
the camera staring into the wall its default heading happened to face,
for the whole turn. The facing ladder grows two rungs: the eyes turn
toward their OWN magic — a cast's target or cell, an attack's defender,
a thrown object's landing — and when a reel opens on a stationary
wizard with nothing to aim at, the camera faces the longest corridor
from where they stand instead of hardcoded east.
