              How To Spin A Camera Around A Building

              The folks at Candy Glass Productions have posted a cool tutorial on how to spin a camera around a building, using the CN Tower in Toronto as an example. This would be an awesome technique to highlight a landmark from a vacation if you’re throwing together a video for friends and family. You could also scale down this technique for use on a portrait subject for any mixed media projects.

              This effect isn’t a new idea, but Candy Glass does a great job of mapping out the steps so you can achieve a very clean, believable result. Has anyone ever tried anything like this?

                Interesting technique. People need to know that cool things take a bit of work to get right.
