Hi, Bluetone -- I'm not much of a web guru and have no idea if I can put something up to download. I'll do my best to figure it out. Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, the camera shake is put in in AE. I have versions sans shake, and while they look decent, there's a certain energy and documentary feel that comes with the shake. I did my best to put movement in that reacts like a camera op would react in those situations -- what do you show? the flying saucer flying away or the car that's just been crushed by the hotel sign? As a camera op in real life, I find that questions like that are going through my head all the time. (Although I've rarely had the opportunity to videotape flying saucers blowing up stuff.) I don't believe that there are camera move tracking capabilities in Carrara; you might have some luck with the other way around, though. If you have AE pro, you could always do camera moves in Carrara with a couple targets in the shot, then do a motion track in AE. But I've found for what I'm doing, it's better to have a locked off shot and superimpose the ship and other stuff, then shake it up in AE. I've reworked one shot thats posted, but haven't updated the posting. I'm working on a couple others, and starting to develop a context for them -- like a story! Imagine that! I'll let y'all know when it's up for viewing. - Dex
