So, my opening sequence for my videos requires that I show the students the axis they are going to be using for their graph. Since I'm spending a bunch of time in Motion anyhow, I figured I'd learn how to do the following:
- wide shot, showing whole Cartesian plane
- zoom in to horizontal axis, then pan L-R across the label (time)
- zoom out to wide shot again
- tilt camera 90 degrees, and do the same process with the vertical axis label
In order to accomplish this, I needed to have a high quality Cartesian plane that would stand up to me zooming in right next to it. So, I created the grid using vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator (the Illustrator file is here, and the final png is here). Getting vector graphics into Motion proved to be a bit much for me, so I ended up exporting the graph as a png file, with a maxed out ppi at 2400. This seems to be enough resolution that I don't have to care about trying to use vector graphics in Motion (this process took all morning, and had Dave and myself cussing in intervals).
Well, time for some lunch, and then on to learning how to control virtual camera motion in Motion. Fun.
