Chapter 20 Using Show Motion to View a Model 539 Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. The two elements of a cinematic shot are motion and movement. Motion relates to the behavior of the object and how it appears to be in motion during the cinematic shot. In addition, it refers to the position of the model at a specifi ed point in the anima- tion. Movement in a cinematic shot is the manner in which the camera moves in rela- tion to the object. PROFESSIONAL TIP PROFESSIONAL TIP If your goal is to create a series of shots that blend together, it is a good idea to fi rst develop a storyboard of the entire sequence. This could be as simple as a few notes indicating how you want the shots to move or even a few sketches noting the required movements and motion values. Planning your shots will save time when you begin creating them in AutoCAD. Camera Drop-Down List The camera drop-down list is located below the preview image in the Motion area of the Shot Properties tab. The preview image represents the position of the camera based on the option selected in the camera drop-down list. The following three options are available in the drop-down list, Figure 20-11. • Starting point. The view in the preview image is the display that will be shown at the start of the cinematic shot. All movement options begin at this point. • Half-way point. The view in the preview image is the display that will be shown at the half-way point of the cinematic shot. • Ending point. The view in the preview image is the display that will be shown at the end of the cinematic shot. All movement options take the shot to this point. Figure 20-10.
