Intro Film "Spring" by the Blender Animation Studio

Learn how to handle your Blender camera like a pro

There's a lot - a lot lot - that goes into creating a film. 

Lucky for you, Wayne takes the guesswork out of camera movement and delivers all the do's and don'ts in his new course.

• field of view
• the types of camera lenses
• apertures
• depth of field and focus
• framing (important!)
• and different camera rigs
• types of camera shots - as well as angles
• and, of course, the different camera moves

Wayne illustrates this with hands-on examples. 

There are also a few different special camera moves we'll cover, like camera shake and handheld camera.

The course comes with graded exercises, so you can put your new skills to the test.
