Subtitles of the Movie

Here's a tip. This comes up pretty frequently. If you ever need to mimic an orthographic view's lack of perspective, let's say the Front View, give your Camera a very long Focal Length and position your Camera very far away. If I go back to the X-form tab and make its Z Position much larger then you can see how our Camera View now closely matches how our orthographic Front View looks. Let's undo a few times and get back to where we were. The last item in our Camera's Field of View tab that I want to point out is Resolution. If I click Enable Resolution, we see no difference in the Focal Length field, but we do see a smaller Field of View. That's because Animator defaults to emulating a 35 millimeter movie camera on a normal lens. Because the Aspect Ratio is slightly different, we have a tighter crop on our scene, but our Camera Angle has not changed. Now if I switch the Aspect Ratio popup to 16 millimeter, then our Focal Length numbers change, but our View in the Camera Window has not changed. This is because the Animator is maintaining our Camera's viewing angle on a perspective even though our Aspect Ratio has changed. Sixteen millimeter's area is about half that of thirty-five's, so its Focal Length number's also about half. Back to 35, and now I'll change it to 65 millimeter and see that our Focal Length numbers have changed and we have a bigger area viewed by our Camera, but our Perspective is the same. See how our front two Gears are touching each other? The Gears' visual relationships to each other and the grid has not changed even though we've changed our Aspect Ratio. Go back to 35. These two are still touching each other at these points. Knowing how to set up the Camera's Position and Angle will help us create a more dramatic shot for our animation.
