How do you have the photographic camera follow an object?

Hey peeps...does anyone know how to link a photographic camera to an object in motion and then that the photographic camera stays still while it follows the object across the screen?

Thanks for your help,

JD

You can try parenting information technology to the object from a bit of a distance out.. Or yous a motion path.

(1) Select the object.
(2) Shift-Select the camera
(3) Hotbox: Constrain -> Aim

You will probably need to fiddle with the vector of the aim constraint to get the photographic camera to expect downwards the correct axis. Once you've done this, y'all can movement your object around and the camera will follow information technology.

even easier is to create a photographic camera and aim in the camera rollout. Get the camera into position and move the aim to the heart of your object.Then select the aim object in the outliner so shift select the object you want it to follow. Hit "p" to parent those two suckers. Now movement the object about and the photographic camera should alter colour to show that it#s dependant on the object, the camera should follow the object well-nigh now.

Now motion the object near and the camera should change color to bear witness that information technology#s dependant on the object, the camera should follow the object nigh now.

I thought most that, just yous have to be careful to select just the camera in the group should you want to move it around.

yeah that shouldnt be a trouble, just select the camera every bit normal and it will still indicate towards the object. But you may have problems if y'all move the group.
