The first view of the Radar dome was my first use of a moving camera in the video. The camera only has basic movement at this stage, very slightly panning up to reveal the whole radar base.
The scene afterwards shows the radar dome emerging from beneath the ice. This was achieved by selecting the whole radar base and keyframing it's movement vertically up through the ice.
The following shot carries on from the end of the last and shows the base unfurling into its full form. This was made much easier thanks to the grouping I did earlier. The main base, power generator and aerial are three separate groups making this movement much easier.
The next shot uses moving camerawork. The camera was keyframed to move downwards and rotate to face toward the radar base. During this time the tanks are firing rounds toward the base, the turrets movement was deliberately set to jolt backwards with recoil and slowly move back into position again to really give the feeling of the large caliber weaponry mounted within them. I keyed them so that there was a delay between them whilst firing to show them working as an orderly team rather than firing off shots at random and I think it helps to convey the feeling of an organised military force.
