recently i finished the Adelholzener commercials for their new fitness assortment at südlicht-t. There i was responsible for building the packshot and also creating the appropriate camera moves.
creating the camera flow like it is seen in the packshot wasn't that easy because it couldn't be made by simple camera animation. getting the camera flown around the bottle so that the bottle is always steady in the picture i used in the first step a fixed camera and a moving bottle, so i could control the steady motion of the object relatively to the camera and also rotating it around it's axis, which later became the 90° camera flight around the bottle.

in the second step i grouped another camera in the moving group of the bottle, constrained it to the static camera and baked the animation. so the new camera is flying in the coordinate system of the bottle. in the second step i constrained the bottle to a fixed point and created the environment.
