How to set up scene to move camera through ?with animated characters
Hi,I would like to know how i would set up a scene so that i can move the camera through it,while the characters are moving in AE.
It may be a similar technique to rick gerads tutorial on tracking to a null object on this site,but i wouldn’t know how to go about it if i was importing animated characters from else where that aren’t just still images.
Here are some examples of what i mean
Probably the clearest example is here:

If I understand you correctly:
it would basically be the same as for still images … except you could animate your characters in AE and then pre-comp. .. . or import animated characters that have been animated in other programs (or by hand), just make sure these have an alpha channel.as far as moving the characters around in the scene .. just use keyframes, like position …
you could do some tests by using a still image of a person and splitting off the arms and legs and animating a basic walk cycle. Then make them walk across the scene while the camera flys past ….
does that help?
