Just as live-action movies are made using cameras, Pixar uses virtual cameras to “film” their movies, with lenses that act like the real thing. In this lesson, you’ll experiment with different camera settings like F-stop, focal length and focus to create cool effects in scenes from “Inside Out.”In this lesson, you will learn how cameras function and how they are used to achieve various artistic effects. This lesson takes 45-60 minutes to complete.
