It's just something so fun about a camera flying through a canyon making steeply banked turns. In this video, we'll use the Motion Camera Tag in order to recreate this shot. In our starting project, you'll see that we've got our model which is just a bunch of polygons that have been extruded up and smoothed out a bit. And I've taken the liberty of drawing a spline path, using a B-spline through these canyons. So there are some very steep turns that have to happen, and let's just see what happens when we take our camera and animate it along this flight path. And the easiest way to do that is to create a Motion Camera Tag, and in the Animation tab here, go to Splines and choose Path Spline-A. So I'm gonna take my flight path right here, and under Camera Position, I'm gonna scroll down and I'm gonna choose Automatic, so I've got an Automatic animation…
