Experiments with camera

I started off creating a camera and positioned it. Then I go into film gate and used the look through option from the panels. After adjusting the camera position, I created a starting key point to signify the start of the animation.

After setting up all they key points, I used maya software renderer and chose camera in renderable camera so the animation is rendered through the camera

This time, I experimented with another type of camera. changing the option to camera and aim. The camera will now only focus on the point that I want it to focus on. I then positioned the focal point at the door of my structure.
