Hi folks, I'm trying to set up a classroom based sketch and I have the camera angle with the teacher at the front and the backs of the kids heads behind desks.

I would like to set up the same scene, but flipped 180 degrees so that the kids' faces are all directly in front of the camera.  Is there an easy way to do this, or do I have to manually turn each character round?

Many thanks.

Just like when making a movie with a real camera, you will have to adjust the scene to represent the 180 camera setup. When the camera angle changes, you would see the student's faces and the back of the room, possibly an over the shoulder shot from behind the teacher in the front, or directly in front of the teacher. Just think about how the camera angle changes in a real movie affect the scene and what becomes visible to the viewer. You will have to break your scenes up into chunks of video that would later be edited together to create the transitions.

Thanks for the reply.  I get all that I just wondered if there was an easy way to pan the camera right round.  I guess not then?

CTA doesn't have a 3d camera/environment. you have to move the environment around the camera if you want that angle as opposed to a camera around an environment.
