If you don't turn on safe frames, then you may get some unpleasant surprises when you do a render. So I'm going to illustrate that, using the physical camera I created in the previous movie. I'm going to resize the view port itself, change its rectangular aspect ratio by widening the command panel. Position the cursor over the border between the view ports and the command panel, click and drag to the left and expand that command panel until you see several columns. Now we have a different shape to the rectangle in each view port. I'm going to position the camera in a very peculiar way, just to illustrate the point here. Using the middle mouse button, I'll position the camera at a low angle, and make it so that the wall actually touches the top of the view port there.
