Camera Locking Storyboard Pro : Test #2

 So using this scene from Dragon Ball Super : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6a7RND2mRk as an excuse to test out the Camera Locking Function in Storyboard Pro. 

This time I did a right to left pan, followed by a rotation and a wip down with the camera. And the effect is pretty cool I think!

So step 1:
Just draw your entire scene, making sure you keep your character art on the same layer for ease.

And don't forget to pin your layer to the camera in the "Layers window"

Step 2:
Then add in your background. Make sure it's large enough so you can move your camera around.

Add in your camera keyframes, and your characters will remain locked. So cool!

STORYBOARD PRO: Locking characters to Camera

 This is a bit of a simplistic example, but for shots where the camera follows your characters, storyboard pro has a great feature that allows you to lock layers to the camera.  Meaning you can pan across a background while your characters stay locked in place. 

So first draw your background art, and your character art. Then you can lock your character art layer to the camera by going to the "layers window" (windows> layers if it is not visible). Select your layer (1) and click on the icon with a pin (2). 

Looking forward to experiment a bit more with this, to see how it can be used. 

Actually, here's a second example. I locked the black borders and the character art to the camera, with a pan on the BG (based on a shot from Dragon Ball Super):
