Product Camera Movement | Blender 2.8

[@melonisferco]

I thought doing this kind of camera movement was a lot harder to do lol. Thanks. The tutorial was very good!!

[@DamianMathew]

Yeah it’s surprisingly simple when you break it down. Also if you would ask me, nothing I do is complicated haha. The mindset is the tricky part, but once you get the mindset down, most things are really quite easy to be honest, just have to understand it and break it down. The only thing I’d call hard that I have done is rigging a character in Pixar style, I really thought that was quite hard when I learned it and I am still not good at it.

[@DerekElliott]

great video

[@DamianMathew]

Not as good as yours! Great seeing you here! :D

[@jordanwright5795]

Great tutorial. I have been using C4D for nearly 20 years now for broadcast and commercial work, mostly for consumer electronics manufacturers. Blender is starting to look very interesting especially with Cycles X/K hot on the heals of Redshift and Octane which are what I’m using now. In dipping into Blender I’m finding that I like it, especially how broad the add in market is. It seems like there is a great add on for just about anything. One issue that I’m having and maybe there’s a simple way to do this that I’m overlooking but I can’t seem to find an easy way to do more complex camera moves like I do in C4D. In C4D you can look through the camera and translate, rotate, zoom, dropping a key frame at each new place you move, rotate and zoom to and while still in camera view C4D will be drawing a spline between all of your key framed moves while your looking through the camera. No need to add a constraint to a curve. Blender seems to require what feels like a unnecessarily complex nesting of null or (empty objects) as they are called in blender. In c4d it feels a lot like how you would film in the real world with the ability to record in camera then after the fact smooth out the spine points, add additional or fewer spline point subdivisions in between key frames after it automatically creates the spline path if you want to speed up or slow down the move. There is also various easing in and out options between key frames at any point after the fact. I’m not sure if Blender has anything similar and I’m hoping it does or perhaps a way that’s even better. Thank you for the great tutorial!

You're my favorite blender tutor in YT. This is awsome technique!

[@parentheses7777]

Wow! Camera movement is something I tend to struggle with, but this tutorial really fixed that problem. I hope to see more like this now that I'm subscribed!

this is gold my man! thank you so much! if i had enough money i would start supporting on patreon ASAP

Today I finally uploaded quite a few files for download. So you will get far more Value than Money spent. Just wanted to inform you!

[@likhith-lexus]

I almost feel like crying looking at my method till now. I used to move camera manually to achieve that kind of output and it cost me hours and hours for perfect tracking

[@Groovingforwardatx]

Same here 😅

[@vain3d973]

This is a great method but I think Blenders Camera Rig options are pretty great also. Awesome tutorial 🤍

[@DamianMathew]

Yeah, I just saw this camera motion from a real camera robot actually and just wanted to remake it. I didn’t put a big amount of thought into it to be honest, this was just the best first idea I had on how to create it. This technic definitely has some limitations, especially if you make the curve longer, your animation is offsetted. So for a client project it will be hard to add feedback without messing up the whole timing, for example when there is music :/ but for most cases I think it’s a quick and fun way to do it.

[@vain3d973]

@@DamianMathew It's an excellent method & I believe I will be referencing it in the future, so thank you so much for your time in making this!!

what hot key you are typing in 2:18 to make new keyframes? can anyone tell me please?

[@sikandarejaz83]

Great Tutorial😊 can you explain about the light setup plz its hard to get a good lighting like yours

[@mkdk-8275]

can you make more camera movement tutorial . so interesting.

[@PawOoo]

How about the lightings when you rotate around the object? Are they also key framed?

[@chromaetique]

Cool tutorial Damian ! Could you do more of these ? For example for vehicles

[@wisky8898]

hi , how to add the keyframes to the curve please?

[@kramallinob608]

How do you rotate the camera looking to suzanne. If I press R I can only rotate on Z Y and X axis.. From my view suzanne is in a diagonal view and cannot move the camera towards that position.

[@amjadal-bittar5638]

Thanksss!!

[@oranges2625]

I thought this was supposed to be easy!

[@smdrndr]

thank you for the tutorial. but i cannot rotate the camera while having 'track to' constraint added. please help

[@kumarbrown6804]

Thanks for the tutorial! You mentioned if you wanted to professionally edit the animation, you would have to output the animation as images and then put it together in another software. Can you please advise if you are referring to a video editor and if so, how would you do this? Do you have a tutorial on this or can you link to another video?

[@DamianMathew]

Yes. You can use Blenders videos sequence editor or after effects. I thing Black-magic Resolve should also work

I tried to follow up o nyour tutorial and I can see my keyframes on graph editor, why is that?

[@moraoworks]

Hi! Can anyone tell me why my graph editor makes an horizontal line? I've tried everything but I still get a horizontal line instead of a curve! Thanks

[@DamianMathew]

Hm maybe you are too close? Try ‘A’ (select all) and ‘.’ on the numpad, to bring all in view. Otherwise maybe you just don’t have a 2. different keyframe?

how can your other keyframes be flat… You duplicate them right ? Mine follow the curve it getting me crazy

[@AlfredTsaizer]

Say you make an animation that way in a real production environment. Then a client is like, "all is great, but can you please change the motion in the end with the camera going a bit further, and a bit more in the middle too.. The rest is perfect". You change your path and suddenly your all accent points are messed up because the length of the path has changed.... I would not ever animate camera on a path on a real project. With a solid and simple camera rig you can achieve the results as easily, but without the whole headache and "counterintuitiveness" of working with the path.

[@DamianMathew]

Alfred Tsaizer yes that’s a great comment! I personally actually never use this technique. I really just made this video to introduce a cool style to people that are new. I agree 100%! This production in particular actually was for a pitch, so it was all about speed and there was 0 feedback expected.

[@Zombie_13x33]

you lost me immediately. as soon as you started placing the camera and object and parenting them you flew thru it and i cant even figure out what your doing. this is the 3rd video trying to learn this and everyone haul's ass cus they know what there doing but i dont. slow down lol
