"On behalf of Expert Village this is Paul Louis and today I'm going to give you some basic iClone Machinima Filmmaking Tips and Techniques. That's basically the idea regarding the two shot. Now let me go up here to my pan tool, pull out and I want to temporarily get rid of her so let me select her. Go up to tools and temporarily hide character, close that window and she's out of the scene just temporarily but this is going to be a wide shot. So let's talk about wide shots. This would probably be my one of my first shots before she enters the room and I'm trying to find a motion where maybe he's pacing and he wants to basically see his next patient. So let me see if there's a motion in here that does justice to that. I know I want him to walk so let me click on this over here and yes he is walking but I really want him to kind of make like he's looking at his watch and pacing around. So iClone has tons and tons of different motions that you could play with and you could even create your own motions.
