Camera Lens Choice!

These are some guides I did specifically for the Green Lantern Animated Series.  I learned most of my knowledge of CG camera lenses while working on Clone Wars (with Maya).  I could see the rules being different on a live action set.

Also, note that this indicates stylistic choices I wanted on Green Lantern.  Tron Uprising, which I think is a beautiful looking show, tends to use a lot more wide angle lenses than we did, which is what gives it that extra “anime” look.

If you work in traditional animation, you probably don’t have to think much about lens choice - unless you work in anime, or Avatar the Last Airbender.
