By January 18, 2011No Comments

Adrew Devis posts at a multi-part tutorial looking at animating camera’s in After Effects – this is part one witch looks at some of the problems you may encounter when trying to animate a camera in After Effects and part two will look at creating a rig for the camera that will allow for better and simpler going when animating.

“Cameras are notoriously difficult to get to grips with in After Effects. In this tutorial, Andrew Devis explains some of the behaviors and problems that are common to camera animation and then shows how to do a simple one dimensional animation, while pointing out why that solution cannot be used for more than one dimension (x,y or z rotation).”
