	Brycetech: Bryce Camera Animation Part 1
		For a camera to move many feet in just a few seconds means it is moving very fast and for it to move only a few in a few seconds means it's moving slowly.
		Remember when you animate the child object (the camera in this case) it does not affect the parent [the sphere] but when you animate the parent [the sphere] it affects the child [the camera].
		So be sure to allow enough time in the sphere rotation in your animation to make the camera appear to pan properly, otherwise it will be too fast to appreciate.

	Workshops \| Under Camera Style Animation \| Strange Attractors
		Most of the movement is pre-planned in the mind and executed directly to camera in one go (otherwise you may lose track of where you were at and interrupt the rhythm of the movement).
		The under-camera technique of animation is not necessarily dependent on accuracy of movement or realistic depictions of the subject.
		Animation is created by painting onto the pane of glass, then shooting the image to film (1-2 frames at a time) then making changes to the image, and shooting more frames.

	FlipBook Makes Animation Easier
		FX Traditional animators used to use an animation camera to shoot their animation.
		The camera could zoom in on the artwork and when they wanted to pan or rotate the images they just moved the peg bar that the cels were attached to.
		FlipBook Camera FX is the fastest and easiest way there is to add these same camera moves, and more, to your FlipBook scenes.

	Workshop \| In-Camera Film Animation \| Strange Attractors
		Figure 1 shows the lighting arrangement and camera setup in relation to the main set piece - which was a ready-made wall section we found at the back of the warehouse that co-director Victor was living in at the time.
		Bumping a tripod and moving a camera half way through a shot is the worst mistake an animator can make because it is virtually impossible to put the camera back in the same position.
		The basic HR16 camera itself does not record sound (sound is added to the image via a separate sound recording unit) but silence is no problem for the stop motion film maker as the music, voices and sound effects will invariably be all created separately from the image, usually after the animation is complete.

	Camera Path Editor FAQ
		If 4.xx ever gets the ability to load camera path files (either in its own format or converted from 3.xx), it would be possible to set up scenes in version 3.xx that would produce a similar animation in version 4.xx.
		The camera will initially point at the 1st point of the Lookat path, and gradually pan to the 2nd point until it is finally looking directly at the 2nd point as soon as the animation ends.
		Additionally, on screens giving animation statistics, CamPath will use the FPS variable and the number of frames in the animation to give the resulting length of the animation if it were rendered and compiled into an animation with a specific FPS count (for instance, an AVI or MPG file).

		When the camera operator gets the cut, he lines up the cut elements according to the first framing, records all the settings of the various measuring devices on the camera stand then repositions everything to the second framing.
		Diagonal movements are indicated by an arrow on the layout and the camera operator approximates the degree.
		The typical Japanese animation camera is a 16mm film camera which can shoot single frames at a time fixed to a 3 meter rail with a chain to allow the operator to move it up and down.

	Animation
		To understand how animation is generated, it is useful to imagine a mixing board with one slider or knob for each parameter of each component tile.
		When keyframe animation is created, it is as if an invisible hand is moving each slider from the settings of one keyframe to the settings of the next keyframe.
		To create an animation appropriate for use as an alpha mask, you will want to create short animations where the first keyframe is all white and where the final keyframe all fl (or vice versa).

	Cameras - Animation Show Forums
		I am relatively new to 2-D line animation and was wondering what type of cameras were best to start out with that was capable of capturing a single frame at a time for the use in hand drawn, line animation.
		I'm not really into digital cameras (I'm not sure why, but anything that's slept with my mother I don't trust) but I'm somewhat intrigued by super 8, and was wondering if that would be reasonable within a cheap budget of camera purchase, developing costs, etc..
		Unless it's specifically built for animation or customized, there are not many 16mm cameras (as far as I know) that can shoot a single frame at a time.

	Animating Under the Camera compiled by Heather Kenyon
		The sand animation I did was back in the mid `70's when I made a short film from experiments I did under the animation stand I kept in my loft in New York.
		Animated films allow the possibility of finding multiple ideas; therefore, the themes grow larger, more detailed, and are more dynamic than paintings on canvas.
		The general method of this technique is to work directly under the camera: one layout, or in-between, is overlaid by a layer of paint, depicting the following layout.

		This simple animation device, based on the principle of "persistence of vision" was invented by William George Horner in 1834.
		Animators draw 12 sequentially spaced images on a strip of paper 29 1/2" long and 2 1/2" high.
		Exquisite Corpse: Collaborative Animation Project: Part I- The "Exquisite Corpse" was a game played by the surrealists in which someone drew on a piece of paper, folding it and plassing it to the next person to draw on until, finally, the sheet was opened to reveal a calculated yet random composition.

	Layout
		The layout drawing provides a stage in which the animators will animate their characters and effects, as well as a blueprint or underdrawing, to be rendered in color by the Background Painters.
		When part of the background setting needs to be animating, Layout draws a reference drawing for the special effects animators to help them match the style and design of the background.
		The advent of computers in animation allows us to use several different sized layouts, some much larger than actual camera size - which in our recent past has been 25-field- these can then be scaled down to fit the scene.

		Animation is the art by which two-dimensional drawings or inanimate objects are turned into moving visual representations of three-dimensional (3-D) life.
		The camera operator, using the dope sheet, assembles the background and movement cels, and shoots each frame, after which the film is sent for processing and printing.
		Model animation follows a process similar to hand-drawn animation, using models such as puppets (sometimes referred to as puppet animation) or clay figures (sometimes referred to as claymation).

		As long as the camera is steady, you will not have to worry about match-moving your animation to camera movements, shakes, and so on.
		Bring a tape measure to the video shoot and measurement how high the camera is from the floor and how far it is from where you plan to place the 3D character or object.
		In this case, the camera had to be tilted slightly.

	Animation Alley:Camera tracking with Moujou on Renderosity.com
		Another thing to keep in mind is the camera type that you use, because that seems to affect how your virtual camera behaves in Maya.
		Moujou supposedly includes some "camera presets" so you can choose the camera type from the list, however the demo version didn't seem to include those, so all I could do was guess.
		If you are interested in camera tracking, I encourage you to download the demo version available at the 2d3 website so you can see for yourself.

		The claw moves back and forth, is spring loaded to press against the film, and formed in such a way that it engages a perforation when it moves right, and slips over it when moving back to the left, as the shutter opens to expose the frame.
		This movement is precise enough to be used in professional special effects and animation cameras.
		At D is the lens of the camera, the camera's finder is at E and the adjustable shutter control at F. In the heavy base G all the electronics needed for controlling the printer are located.

	Jeff’s UK-centric Glossary of Animation Terms
		in live-action, a pan is the horizontal swivel of the camera as, for example, when it sits on a static tripod and follows someone walking across a room.
		In 2D animation, this effect is pretty much impossible to achieve as every element of an image would have to change in perspective.
		The word “pan” therefore has its own usage in 2D animation and generally means any movement in any direction of either characters or the camera itself except for moves “in z” — that is towards and away from the camera.

		The film is rewound, all the lights in the camera room are shut off and light from a slide projector with a colored filter is shown through the camera stand.
		A Japanese camera studio normally has a set of shelves full of different types of distortion glass picked up throughout the years, sometimes at strange places like construction sites or demolished factories.
		There is always room for improvisation and new ideas when doing camera.When I worked in a camera studio the chief cameraman regaled me with stories about one famous cameraman who would dash down to the neighborhood candy shop to get cellophane wrappers to create his own filters out of and other interesting tricks.

	IMEJ Article - The Amazing Stress Camera: An Interactive Discovery Experience
		The Amazing Stress Camera, developed to guide students toward self-discovery of the meaning of stress transformations, is an interactive computer animation that uses the analogy of a photographic camera to convey the idea that stresses at a single point in a solid body vary depending upon the orientation with which we view the point.
		Advancing to the final scene in the animation, which is a page suitable for printing, students can enter their names on this page and print it for submission as a part of a homework assignment.
		As students rotate the camera, they are exposed to the notion that stresses at a point in a solid body depend upon orientation.

		The only thing you can do is create a new camera, switch to it, then apply an animation to the only camera, then switch back to it and then play the animation to see if it's what you want.
		If not, you have to switch back to camera #2, edit Camera#1 with the animation on it, then reattach to camera#1 and replay the animation, loop, etc etc tweak tweak until it's what you like.
