The camera rotation is most complicated shot of the entire film as I had to animate the each movement of the character from close up till forshortening and do frame-by-frame for the background as well. Miracously in yesterdays lecture we were taught perspective drawing (creating a fisheye lens to be exact) and how do to camera work in scenes that require perspective.
Another thing I found was that there is an effect called CC environnment in after effects that would help me in rotating the camera. I first had to create the fisheye lens version of the trench and then add a camera in after effects and use the orbit tool to create. it
I had to plan out the inside of the trench and the what the depth of each side would look like. When I applied the CC effect I realised that the ends (both right end and left end) join together a this creates a circle. Once I had this figured out, It was a matter of designing the field.
A bit of base colouring and the was ready to take this into after effects
