Woow, this is so much simpler than I thought it was!!! I already work with after effects, so this was very simple to understand, but I thought that doing camera movement like this in 2D animation was much more complicated!! I'm loving this channel, I'm learning SO MUCH!!

Just learned this in school. Your explanation was clearer. I would like some "slower" tutorials though....I am a newb.
