my entry for the upcoming"space"animation contest

Ok, so. I'm assuming that somebody knows of the upcoming "space" animation contest. And I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I'm trying to have the camera zoom out in one part of the animation. Its supposed to start zooming out slowly, and then speed up. but, instead, before it starts to go faster, its zooms in. And I can't figure out why. its mind-boggling :huh: . So, if anyone could help, that would be really cool.

Thanks,

Has to do with the interpolation between your two keyframes.

 

Many ways to solve this:

 

Go to your first key frame. Copy it. Go to the next frame. Paste it.

 

OR (prefereably) take control of the interpolation by going into the channels for your camera move- notice how the line conencting your keyframes will dip before rising (at the place you are havnig problems)- you can make that keyframe a 0-slope interpolated node.

 

OR add another 2 points along the line (say 5% and 95% into the transformation) and adjust these points to properly slow-in-slow-out the camera- should that be the effect you want.

 

Get to know the channels windows and how to navigate it- it will be your best friend during animation- fixing goofs, adding subtle details and ensuring things do what you want them to do.
