@corda1983 In short, yes, poser pro was the only program used for the animation including camera movement. The only elements that were added outside poser were clouds, fog and rain which were composited in vegas. With a large scene with multiple figures and props things slow down a lot, but that's more a limitation of my computer than the program. [intel q6600 quad-core w/6gigs ram]

Can Poser do all the character/background stuff and camera movement? I'm interested in using Poser Pro 2012 as a previz tool but wondered if it was able to handle characters, landscapes, backgrounds and complex camera movement etc,
