Hi, JK-

I finished a short animation using Toon Boom Studio. Now that I view my efforst I'd like to cut to a closeup for a few seconds within the animation, which is a single scene. I tried reading your tutorials (the fish & shark) to figure out how to use a pegged camera to do a quick zoom and come back out again. I don't even want a zoom, really, I just want to cut to a closeup of my character for a few seconds to show his expression and then cut back to my original framing of the scene. I learned how to use the motion pegs back, years ago, when I did my first Toon Boom animation, Hatman Seranade, but I found the whole thing overwhelmingly confusing back then and I am having that sinking feeling again. I'd forgotten that the Toon Boom system is not very intuitive. I'm sure it all seems clear to you, since you've mastered the software, but to someone like me, who lacks a tech brain, the program makes me feel dumb as a post.

So, can you point me to the most simple, straight-ahead section within your tutorials that will allow me to cut to a closeup of my character and then return to my original view? Or is this one of those things, like learning jazz guitar, where one must back up and learn the entire system from teh beginning? I messed around with Apple's Motion some years ago and it was SO intuitive. I loved how I could read bits and pieces about how the program worked and then, without much pain and suffering, do all kinds of things to my movies. I do wish TBS was as intuitive. Yeah, I know, wishing is a poor substitute for digging in and studying.

Thanks, E
