Simple animation question.

[handige_harrie]

2 different camera's and a stage object will work, or you assign some keys to the (single) camera's target and set interpolation to 'step'.

Hmm i rarly ever use a target when I render. I just take the target object and keyframe it at the peaks of the camera movement.

that way if the object makes a sudden movement the audience does not start losing their lunch due to the camera movement.

...I am still lost...sorry guys. Can you explain a little more..or maybe a link to a good tut?

Thanks for the help.

There may be a better way, but I'd put the target expression on a null and then animate the null to direct the camera's motion.

[JIII]

okay make a camera.

then apply a target expression to your object where the camera should point

play through your animation,

then figure out where the main areas of camera movement start and stop.

keyframe the camera at these points.

then delete your target expression.

not a complete breakdown but you should be able to figure the rest out on your own.
