MacBreak Studio: "BouncyCam" in Motion

On this episode of MacBreak Studio, I show Brian Gary how to create an animated camera effect using simulation behaviors in Motion. See it on iTunes here or on the web here.

Hi Mark

Love your work. Tried your bouncy cam tutorial but the camera settles on a scene but despite me ending both the spring and drag behaviours the camera drifts off the scene........Just wondered what I could have done wrong.

I"d have to see the project, Chris, not sure what it going on - might be best to keep the drag applied, but keyframe the amount to crank it up at the end of the move to settle the camera.

Hi Mark

Got there......I had to balance the drag with the spring and trim frame by frame.....they then balanced each other out......

Kinda weird tho as bounced same camera to 7 scenes but the trim length varied scene to scene by 3 frames to avoid them still slipping away from target......

Effect works really well tho.......great stuff. Many thanks for your awesome work.......

Glad you got it to work!!
