We have our camera, we have our objects, let's take the trees and move those forward, and I select the trees in the timeline, and you'll notice that there is a three-pronged axis on every object in every layer now. The blue side of the axis is the Z, which moves basically in and out of space. The Y moves up and down or vertically, and the X axis moves horizontally. So what we're going to do is grab the trees and we're going to move them to the foreground. Well in front of our subject. Moving them up and down, let's move them on the X axis so there's a little bit of space in between, and now you can see how useful having several windows can be because we can work the axis' from many different windows. We can move - it's clearer to see the Z and Y axis here, but it's easier to see the X axis in this window, so... or in the main window, so... let's do this. That's a little better. Okay, if you look a the windows we're going to change the size of this window. Right now it's at twelve and a half percent, we're going to change it to thirty-three point three percent just to give us a little better view. Select the camera, and to help you get a better idea or better feel for how the 3D camera works in after effects, you can see that we had the camera here, this triangle with the little box on the end of it is the camera, you can see the axis' here, and these lines represent, these blue lines represent the images, and so as we move the camera through space, you can see that we're actually physically getting closer to the images unlike in a, in the regular operation where you made one to make your image bigger without 3D, what you'd have to do is just scale the objects. Make the objects themselves bigger.
