Camera Operation Tutorial by NSS

Your view of the world in SL is via a floating camera that is usually positioned just above and behind your avatar. However, you can use your camera controls to move your camera all around without ever moving your avatar! Very handy for many things, believe me.

This video by Natural Selection Studios gives some great info on camera use as well as a couple of tricks. And, they have a great sense of SL humor - even SL oldsters will enjoy watching this one.

This links to youtube.com, the video is just 7 minutes long.

An aside: the NSS folks have figured out how to make their avatar's lips move, so they look like they are talking with the audio! Which has been an elusive trick with SL machanima for a long time, as I rekon. So these folks are triple-star kewl, and I'm now on a serious quest to figure out how to do it, too! :)
