Week 9: Cinematics

This week we were acquainted with various Cinematics tools to create animated or cinematic sequences. Even though I am aware of crane rig and camera rig rail methods for capturing footage, I personally animate the camera's position and rotation directly and love to mess around with focus distance and field of view to create more engaging and interesting shots of my scene. It was difficult at first, but once I understood the layout of the sequencer and how to insert and edit keyshots of my camera's position and rotation, the process became much more enjoyable. So much so that I was not frightened to try new techniques and play around with depth of field and field of view a bit more.
