So I'm just gonna back out of the default camera view and you can see the camera object there. And it's set up, it was created at the exact point that our default camera was. So we can just choose to zero out the coordinates and you'll see it move around in the viewport. And all I wanna do is just maybe back it up a bit on the Z-axis.

Well, if we just choose to rotate the camera, it's not gonna be fixed to that point. It's gonna be sorta looking around. So a way of controlling that is by using a simple rig. So if we just create a null at zero zero. For example, this is where we want our camera to be…
