zooShots is all about camera management. Its an awesome tool for using in cinematics work - layout, and early previs animation - basically anything where you have multiple cameras in one scene that you need to cut between.

Just say you have 25 different cameras that you need to cut between, but you're constantly changing the lengths of shots, and the positioning of the camera etc... zooShots makes this a pretty easy problem to deal with.

  • easily re-arrange shots
  • easily re-time shots
  • use a camera in as many shots as needed
  • enable/disable shots easily
  • dynamic easy to navigate UI
  • colour based interface for ease of viewing
  • attach notes to a shot
  • attach notes to a camera setup
  • fully scriptable
  • easily extendable

Tell zooShots which camera to use as the master camera. Now enter each shot in your sequence into zooShots, give each shot a start frame and bam, thats it. zooShots handles building the constraints and expressions to control the master camera, and make it cut between each camera in the sequence. You can change shot timing in the dope sheet or graph editor, and have zooShots update itself from the new timing!

CHANGES AT A GLANCE
Now works properly with maya v7
v2.7.1 easily tell which cameras are used in multiple shots - merge shots nodes together
v2.6.1 multiple shots nodes now supported - each shots node can be a completely unique instance of shots in your scene. makes it a very flexible tool when you need to experiment with multiple camera setups
