Animating Camera in Adobe After Effects

Video Transcript

"And you can see that as the camera moves through space, just like in the real world, this gets bigger, it gets more out of focus because the camera's closer to it, so it's a true dolly effect. Now we don't want to pass through the images there, we don't want to pass through the actual layer, because that doesn't look very good, so what we're going to do is we're going to move the layers out of the way as we're moving, so, we'll get to here. Let's first of all set the key frames for our model by the microscope. Make sure that they are in fact animatable and we do that by clicking on the stop watch. So the first thing that has to move are the trees and we'll do that now. Camera's moving in, and right about there we're going to start to move the trees a little bit. Move them out of the way. Just slightly. Make that about second and a half into the shot. We're going to leave them there, as we go past them."
