Animating the 3D camera
- By using a 3D camera, we can enhance the scene subtly during post-production, adding things like a gentle zoom or a little camera shake. Here's how. Let's jump on over to this option here, where we have the camera already added. With the camera selected, I'm going to twirl it down. And I'm going to use the transform command here. Using position, we'll add a slow creep in. So, let's simply start by moving the camera a little closer, there we go, and I'm going to raise its point of interest slightly, there we go, so we're panning upwards ever so slightly, that's good. And to extend the background a little bit, I'll scale it slightly larger, so we have a little overshoot. Now, with the camera selected, I'll press P for position, and we'll simply add a slow dolly move. We'll continue to move that camera closer to the subject. There we go. I can also adjust the point of interest, so let's twirl this down and make a small change here. To start, the point of interest is dead center. But as…
