Pan Shot Maya Tutorial

Finally I am able to upload the first set of camera tutorials that we completed during Simon's lesson last week.
The first Tutorial we completed was a basic Panning shot. The Idea behind the tutorial was to have one character move from one side of the frame too the other,exit the frame and then have another character come in from the opposite side and complete the same movement, all while the camera is following their movements.

 This is the setting for our panning shot. It resembles a hallway from the starship enterprise from star trek.

These two images show the Thirds layer that was an important part of framing the shot correctly. Each of the character's needed to move from one third to another over the course of the animation to keep the framing of the shot correct.

 The next few images are some of the progress images from production on the animation. The first shows how the character is lined up with the thirds layer and the other two show the two different models in the middle of their movements.

Here we have the final animated video, the quality isn't amazing as for some reason my computer wants to render in low quality, I will try to get it fixed in future uploads.
