Camera Difficulties and Rigs in After Effects

Andrew Devis has 2 more tutorials, this time on some AE camera basics:

“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 create a simple camera rig, and why it is important to get the order of the layers correct to achieve predictable results.”

Here’s a few more resources on the AE camera:

There’s much more in the AE Help page Adjust a 3D view or move a camera, light, or point of interest and in many AE Portal posts tagged AE camera.

Here’s a sample from the Birnholz training:

    The idea of AE Portal is that it’s a reservoir of news items, and it even references posts and tutorials from AEtuts+ !

    Traffic might sound good but AEP doesn’t generate income yet. It has reached a point where it’s sometimes useful as a quick way to find some things (which I may need myself), as well as providing a streamlet of news on tools on AE.

    We have added a beginner tutorial on building a camera rig (based on Maltaannon’s camera rig for CS3) to use for storyboards and animatics in After Effects at http://vimeo.com/25010816
