3D camera angles
Still experimenting… How do you go about getting your desired camera angles? I know this will take practice, but do you use the virtual X, Y, and Z axis controls, or do you do it numerically in the Transform panel? I’d like to hear some opinions about your workflows…

Personally, I find the easiest way to move the camera is to create a null object, make it 3D and use the Camera’s Point of Interest pickwhip to link the POI to the null. That way i can position my null layer exactly where i want the camera to look and then use the camera’s position after that.

I’ll have to try that next…
Thanks for the tip!

Adobe added some new 3D camera control tools to After Effects late last year — well worth a look:

I was playing with those a little – it still feels too loose and imprecise… I guess I need more practice…

I’m old school from my Maya/Max days.
Everything roughly by keyboard commands then refine keyframes using screen selection.
Love the NULL option, similar to most 3D apps options.
