  1. ...Terrible.

    Why do I get the feeling this is leading up to something?
  2. I've looked at several of the guides posted, and I've been able to make an absolutely perfectly timed short demo (10 seconds, just to play with this).

    I'm just having some difficulty understanding the camera system and how to manipulate it.

    I have one character positioned at:
    POS 74.0625 6.015625 247.640625
    PYR 0 3.092506 0

    I have another character positioned at:
    POS 70.15625 5.6875 245.640625
    PYR 0 1.619884 0

    And my cameraman is initially positioned at:
    CAM POS 78.639275 10.694046 237.711502
    CAM PYR 0.372 2.452646 -0

    I want to set up two shots. One wide one with both characters visible (which the current camera position does do), and a second with a close up shot of the second character.

    First thing's first: I want to move the initial camera position about "2-3" feet closer and move it slightly to the "right." I can't seem to figure out what needs to change to do that.

    Second thing I want to do is figure out a shot at chest level of character 2, about two feet away from him.

    Like I said, I've fiddled with the numbers and referenced the guides and I can't quite get it right. Either my camera winds up in the floor, facing the wrong way, or is just... off.

    Halp!
