Thats what i love with humans !!! they are different . YOU ARE DIFFERENT ... Straight to the point without stupid comments and wasting our time ! Your a great teacher ! Keep up the job and thanks a lot i appreciate a lot this video
It Doesn't Matter ! No one can please everyone especially with 21 century where naked girls jumps in a CS animation tutorial video , he gets like 1 million viewer while a very good straight to the point video like yours will get at most 1000 or more viewer ! Sadly but the truth is always truth so the sun is the sun !
Lol i was reading my comment it doesnt make any sense , cause i translate from arabic to english when i write down my thoughts ;) . Yalla good luck with your videos ,, im done with animation long time ago but now i saw your comment and liked to reply
I rarely animate in Maya, but am animating a camera in all of the wrong ways. Your video was so incredibly useful. I can't wait to return to work and re-animate my scene. Doing it your way (using the Look Through Selected) instead of my way (animating the camera by dragging it around tediously and getting jerky results) is priceless. Thank you!!!
I have been watching your videos for a year now and I have to say you are a great teacher. You have been getting me through college quiet well thank you
Just like to point out that, even though this method works fine for playblasts and such, when rendering with motionblur as a renderpass, frame 83-85 will have a huge amount of smear and will be totally useless when comping, which in turn means you'll be cutting three to four frames in total. However, this works fine if you're method for motionblur is "doing it in post", in for example AE or nuke.
The 180 line goes from the character to the rake and the camera always stays on the left side of the rake and the character. On the last shot, you might think its breaking the rule but the camera is on the same side and at a close up. Maybe you're confused because the character turns around making you believe the camera is on the other side. Look close :)
@Quemaine1000 Right click on the timeline and you'll get a window. Click the bottom one that say Playblast. You can also check the setting by clicking on the small box next to the word Playblast.
Thanks for all your tutorials. I am a hobbyist and cannot go to animation classes and such tutorials let me enjoy my hobby by learning it at professional levels. Keep it up.
@CrashElements I just learned to do this at work last week. You can use Camera Sequencer in Maya to jump from camera to camera. I'll be making a video tutorial on this soon! Professionally, we never "zoom" the camera. We actually animate and move the camera closer to the character.
Yes, you can use two or more cameras. But it's a little harder in maya 2009. From Maya 2011 to 2013 you have a tool called Camera Sequencer that make this process much easier. I don't have Maya 2009 anymore.
great video, thank you very much, i hope you achieve the goals you want to. subbed. I like the honesty and slight awkwardness of how you speak, it's "unprofessional" but in my opinion the best, because it shows your warm and kind perfonna and is fun to learn from someone like you. so kudos, keep it up!
I'm thinking about how much fun it would be, just to have a virtual camera as part of an incredibly robust Tank Rig, where the camera is parent constrained to the rest of the rig. That way, whoever watches the animation would be like "Yee-haw."
Wonderful video. Very easy to understand thank you! I really needed this lesson on camera. I will be using a moving camera in a scene for the first time.
Thanks for nice tutorials you provide.... Is it possible to add noise to individual channels of camera in maya like other 3d applications do... I found it adds more convincing camera motions...
You are very funny...Could you make more tutorials on camera animation (slow motion, speed up, fixing the camera on graph editor, dynamic movement, fps etc.) Love your tutorials haha
You know you break the nr. 1 rule of cinematography: the 180 rule. The first two shots stay on the character's left side but the last shot breaks the 180 line.
You might need to upgrade your computers RAM. You need at least 4GB of RAM for Maya to work smoothly. If you only have 2GB you might get that problem often.
hi its really nice tut. but ihave a small doubt,.how do you attach a camera to an ogbject and make it follow the object?for instance , if i have a shot of missile and i want the camera to sit on the rocket and it follows as the missile animates?
does anyone know how to lock the focus distance of a moving subject in maya? meaning the focal distance will always be locked on eyes of characted for example. Thanks.
Thanks for the great video. I have a question about animation though... I don't know maya very well but I'm into it & I can make some walk cycles where the simple bot is like walking on a treadmill... But the thing is I can't actually make the character move from one place to another. When I attempt to do so, it just deforms in shape and I'm not able to move it... So is there any suggestions of how to actually move to character, just like in this animation here... Thanks again :)
+Jacques M Easier with one camera. If not you can use the camera sequencer. There are many ways professional studios use cameras. Use what works best for you. This is one technique to get beginners started. And yes, this technique is used in studios.
do u use that digital camera for match moving animation too? you know, for computer graphic elements that u want to be incorporated into live action footage?
You can definitely do it that way as well. There's a camera sequence you can use to switch between different cameras. I'll make a tutorial on this soon.
Im often getting this problem while rendering that it renders from my perspective and not my camera even though I've put it in the render options for it to render through that camera, any fix?
9 years later , but still really useful . Thanks a lot for this kind of clear explanation .
2021
10 years later, still, the only video that helped me, after a quick search.
Glad it's helpful. Nothing really has chanced in the way camera animation is done in Maya since :D
I am glad that i found you , You should be teaching on Universities , 100 % Entertaining , 100 % Educational . THANKS FOREVER !!!
Thats what i love with humans !!! they are different . YOU ARE DIFFERENT ... Straight to the point without stupid comments and wasting our time ! Your a great teacher ! Keep up the job and thanks a lot i appreciate a lot this video
Well I try my best, but I can't please everyone. But I'll keep them different for ya'!

Thank you! We haven't learned this in my animation class yet, so now I get to be ahead of the game.
That's what it's all about! :)
Myriad Maze learnt this, but already using XGen and nhair and dynamics... A lil bit rushed. But eh
Just wanna say that you really know how to explain something, you are a really instructor, thank you.

Thank you for this tutorial.. Thank you also for stressing on the important parts and making everything simple enough to follow..
Really clear video & cute animation!! Haha
CakeBakeMakeCreate Glad you liked it.

great video, thank you very much, i hope you achieve the goals you want to. subbed.

You can definitely do that. That would be an awesome view!
Make sure in your animation preferences under animation Tangents are set to spline.
thanks for this little tutorial,very informative,it will help me for my ownanimation,love your channel
Very useful mate, simple and exact. Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot David!! I dedicate my first ever animation assignment to you :D great tutorial!
Very awesome. Really very easy understandable tutorials.
Thanks a lot.
You covered everything I needed to do fast! Thank you
Yes. You have to move the Head with the legs. What my other videos on "How to Animate".
Thank you for checking out the vids!
Great tutorial..love your style of teaching..
Thanks for your efforts. Things like your work are always appreciated
Thank you for this, very simple and concise, helped a ton!

thank u again
Wonderful video. Very easy to understand thank you! I really needed this lesson on camera. I will be using a moving camera in a scene for the first time.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Would love to see your moving camera work. Post on our Facebook wall if you'd like to share :)
I'm glad I can help. Find me on Facebook if you ever have any questions.
Still relevant, though I think it would be a great addition to explain how to prevent a blurred frame when doing a cut with motion blur on
AnimationMethods
Thank you, well explained. :)
Could you please make us a tutorial of this animation ?
Good for the beginning. Thanks!
Thx a lot, man!!!! your video is very helpful!!!!
wow 2020 and still incredibly helpful! thank you!
Yup. or you can use MatchMover that comes with Maya. But it's the same thing for tracking footage.
thanx so so much ,it was very useful for me because I have to make camera cut in my assignment sence
Thanks for the tips, man. It sure did help me a lot.
Could be your graphics card. How much memory does your graphics card have? Also, make sure you don't have an insane amount of objects in you scene.
Thank you for the tutorial. Ur animation looks so good!
Amazing tutorial! =D
Helped me a lot!
Thank you!!!
+Ezidras Lacerda Glad it helped you out.
thank u man,u are the reason why i wont fail.
lol. You're welcome!
@OnlyOneMoomin I'm happy it helped you :)
Exactlly what i searched for Mister! Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial. I was wondering if i can use like 5 cameras for the different cuts?
+TheKillingTreeTT You can but you would end up rendering them separately then compositing afterwards.
Thank you for the replly. Sounds like a lot of work that is not necessary. I stick with one camera :)
Thanks for nice tutorials you provide....
Is it possible to add noise to individual channels of camera in maya like other 3d applications do... I found it adds more convincing camera motions...
Thank you so much!Useful & interesting one!
Thank you :) this helped me with my college course work
You're welcome! We have many more lessons on our website...www.AnimationMethods.com

this sis still useful thank you so much!
You are very funny...Could you make more tutorials on camera animation (slow motion, speed up, fixing the camera on graph editor, dynamic movement, fps etc.) Love your tutorials haha
Thanks for the view. I'll definitely be making more tutorials and will consider your list.
THANK YOU! Perfect tutorial and great, easy to understand commentary! Cheers :)
Very useful video I learn how to shoot in maya with camera thanks ☺️☺️☺️🤗🤗🙂🙂
That's awesome. I'm glad the video helped you out! Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to check out.
You know you break the nr. 1 rule of cinematography: the 180 rule. The first two shots stay on the character's left side but the last shot breaks the 180 line.

does anyone know how to lock the focus distance of a moving subject in maya? meaning the focal distance will always be locked on eyes of characted for example. Thanks.
Tnx a lot man.Really helpful video for general camera knowladge.
*thanks
*knowledge
How did you make the robot thing move in time with the legs? Did you have to keyframe each individual part to move?
You’re amazing! Thank u for this ♥️🔥👏🏻
Red Rebel thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks I learned lot from this about cam
thank u very much i was looking for this very useful ,,greeting from KSA
very helpful, thanks man!!!
Nice work man.Thanks
Isn't it better to have different (separate) cameras for different cuts? Where di you learn this technique? At a studio?
+Jacques M Easier with one camera. If not you can use the camera sequencer. There are many ways professional studios use cameras. Use what works best for you. This is one technique to get beginners started. And yes, this technique is used in studios.
Loved it. BOOM!
do u use that digital camera for match moving animation too? you know, for computer graphic elements that u want to be incorporated into live action footage?
I don't know of any good ones, but I'll be making some videos soon about this.
@CrashElements Sorry. Rigging in the only thing I don't really know.
love your tutorials bro. keep then coming.
I'll keep 'em coming for ya!
Thanks for this tutorial. 🌈
Thank you for this tutorial! Bless you!
Thank you for this tutorial!
Very informative.. 🤘🏻😎
Damn, and here I was thinking I needed multiple cameras for this.
You can definitely do it that way as well. There's a camera sequence you can use to switch between different cameras. I'll make a tutorial on this soon.
@@AnimationMethods Thank you so much. I look forward to it. I am new to animation and I want to give it all I got.
Thumbs up for Digital Tutors! :D
Hello, I'm trying to get the facial rigging course page but can't find it.
Sir. you teach better than my professor
lol. Thank you! I just hope you learn something from the tutorial. I'm sure your teacher is good as well.
Amazing in 2018 😅 .. thank you 👍
thank u sir...its vry interesting..can u plz refer me any rigging tutorials......
Can u make a tutorial on how to polish animation with graph editor and and offsetting keys in dialogue animation
Great tutorial, however, whenever I render my animation. It doesn't show in the camera view I put in but instead the perspective view...
awesome video, very helpful
Easy to follow. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Dude this was so helpful thank you so much.
Im often getting this problem while rendering that it renders from my perspective and not my camera even though I've put it in the render options for it to render through that camera, any fix?
