## Dolly + Rotate Camera Animation Camera dollies forward while simultaneously rotating around the product, creating a dynamic sweeping reveal that's more engaging than a straight zoom or static orbit. ## When to Use - User wants a "dynamic" or "sweeping" shot - User says "dolly", "move and rotate", "sweeping reveal" - More cinematic than a simple turntable ## Parameters | Parameter | Default | Description | |-----------|---------|-------------| | `duration` | `5` | Video length in seconds | | `fps` | `24` | Frames per second | | `rotation_degrees` | `90` | How far to rotate during the dolly | | `start_distance` | `4.0` | Starting distance | | `end_distance` | `2.5` | Ending distance | | `start_height` | `2.0` | Starting height | | `end_height` | `1.5` | Ending height | ## Flow ### Step 1: Set Up Camera Rig ```python import bpy, math bpy.ops.object.empty_add(type='PLAIN_AXES', location=(0, 0, 0.05)) tgt = bpy.context.active_object tgt.name = 'DollyTarget' bpy.ops.object.camera_add(location=(2.5, -START_DISTANCE, START_HEIGHT)) cam = bpy.context.active_object cam.name = 'DollyCam' cam.data.lens = 40 trk = cam.constraints.new(type='TRACK_TO') trk.target = tgt trk.track_axis = 'TRACK_NEGATIVE_Z' trk.up_axis = 'UP_Y' # Parent camera to target for orbital rotation bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='DESELECT') cam.select_set(True) tgt.select_set(True) bpy.context.view_layer.objects.active = tgt bpy.ops.object.parent_set(type='OBJECT', keep_transform=True) bpy.context.sc
