make camera follow 2 or more paths

#1

i have for example several circles positioned 1 above each other and i want a camera to rotate around each one starting with th bottom and work its way to the top circle rotating around each one. In the middle of the circles the camera is looking at an object with a look at constraint. How do i do this?

To do a path animation like you’re talking about and to make it smooth, I’d apply a path constraint to the camera, and then add both circles and a helix (for the transition to the second circle). The motion panel will allow you to add or delete paths, and you can adjust and animate the weight each path has (100% for the first path, then at a later frame reduce the weight and start adding weight to the helix, then from the helix to the final circle).

Just select the camera, go to the animation menu and select ‘constraints’ then ‘path constraints’ and you should be good to go.
