In this DVD, John presents the new Camera Sequencer in Autodesk Maya, a toolset that allows users to create camera shots in a non-linear editing-style timeline within Maya. Using the Camera Sequencer, the viewer will learn production methods of building full sequences in Maya, shot-by-shot, which can then be playblasted as movies for editorial and animation. John begins by exploring the Sequencer menu and tool bar, and doing a general run down of all the exciting new functionality. Using a simple cycle of animation, he uses the Sequencer to "shoot" the animation from various camera angles, and edits the resulting shots until they begin to tell a story. Learn how to use the non-linear editing functions of the Sequencer - cutting, trimming, scaling and sliding shots on tracks, and look at methods to create and group alternate camera setups for easy presentation. John will also show you how to import a set of storyboards which have been exported from Final Cut Pro, and how to build a sequence of animation from these storyboards. This lecture will give animators, previs and rough layout professionals the ability to create full sequences of animation directly within Maya, quickly and efficiently.

In this DVD, Stephen McClure introduces the essential techniques for creating working tracks using Boujou and Maya. Stephen sets up and tracks a crane shot with in-depth explanations of Boujou s toolset that take the user beyond the push-button solutions of Boujou s automated tracking system. He demonstrates the elements of Boujou s workflow in action and then shows how the Boujou solutions are set up and evaluated in Maya. After close scrutiny and evaluation, Stephen takes you back into Boujou and explores how to get more accurate solutions in problem areas with masking, setting up Locators, Target Tracks and multiple automated Feature Tracking passes. Bringing the final Boujou solution into Maya and laying it out with proxy geometry, he checks for accuracy so that 3D elements and effects can be integrated into the shot.
