Camera animation fly arounds

Well since I have completed all of the animations for my scene, it is now time to start doing the camera animation, I have been putting this off quite a bit as I know its going to be very time consuming with render times etc, but atleast it gets me on track to be able to edit and put together my scene. I have had another go at the path animation tutorial: http://www.screencast.com/users/Neal/folders/Flash/media/d8bfa37a-8c1d-41c7-a95d-fcd00d594273 that I failed so miserabley at previously and it seems to have gotten a bit better, I think I'm getting the hang of it, hopefully I will become more confident with it with time as I am going to have to do around 8 or more of them I think to show off everything in my scene. I have a few blender files with various aspects of my scene. I am going to do a path animation for each one, along with a straight on animated render, I will then not necessarily use all of this in my final 30 second animation, but will show them on my blog so that you can see what I have done, whilst it is being done. Some of the animated files will also need to be edited when put into premier so keep that in mind, if there are parts that dont look right.

This is a camera fly of the pond.


This is a full top view of the pond, I really like how you get the reflection of lampost in the water.

This is a full shot of the grass.

This is the front view of the rain.

I have not done a camera fly of the rain as you can see it overall in the front view, and a camera fly would not give a different effect.

This is the camera fly of the ball seats.

This is the front view of the ball seats.

This is the full animation of the ball seats/sign/lampposts, as they were all done within the same file, whereas everything else was done in its own file, so I thought it might be nice to render it out as a whole, as it would be viewed within the file.

The next stage is to put all of these files into 'Adobe premier pro' so that I can edit them together to make a final animation. I have decided to put 'Jump in the pool' by 'Friendly Fires' as the background music to the animation, as I wanted a song that was easy to listen to so that anyone would enjoy viewing the animation. I also thought that I could edit the pond animations to fit in perfectly with the line 'jump in the pool', it seems like the perfect choice.
