Animating the Opentoonz camera on the XSheet - OpenToonz Tutorial

This video explains how to use the Opentoonz camera to simulate having 3 physical cameras in a scene. Then I'll go on to explain a very simple technique to have a fake camera on the XSheet for the main camera to follow, so that you can see the keyframes on the XSheet to help manage the animation.

I spotted this technique in another youtube video, but wanted to share it along with the standard way of using a camera for comparison. I will go on to upload some other videos showing different ways you can use the camera in Opentoonz as this adds more movement to your animations for very little effort.

And before you comment, yes, I know the stick men don't look amazing. Also, I realised after making this that the camera moves didn't really show off the effort of placing levels at different distances from the camera, but hopefully you can still see that it enhances the look of the scene.
