Right is used to specify the aspect ratio of the viewplane. In other words,
coupled with "up", it keeps those spheres from looking squashed or
stretched. If you always want an accurate picture no matter what your width
and height is, use:

up y
right image_width / image_height * x

Change your angle (like you said) to affect how much of the view the camera
is taking in. I personally like to use the DVD standard aspect ratio for my
stuff. I have found that angle 45 works good to keep the stuff on the left
and right of the frame from getting warped.
