A Plugin For the Struggling Film Maker

 I. Introduction

      Roblox Studio is filled with plugins. most of them don't help me in my line of work, but some like Ozzypig's Flamingo Cutscene Plugin really help me make films. But one plugin does not exist, and if it were created, it would be revolutionary to me, and overall, the activity of stopmotion film making on Roblox.

     Firstly, here is my struggle that this hypothetical plugin would help: it is often hard for me to change objects in my film while not moving the position of the camera angle. And after I put up all the frames into Final Cut Pro, it makes the film look shaky and out of place. Sometimes it's okay, and sometimes it makes it look even better if it's an action or fighting scene, but most of the time it just makes it look sloppy and unprofessional.

II. Synopsis

      So, here is my idea for the plugin: a plugin that will let you save a camera's angle and point of view, so you can zoom and change the angle of the camera, alter the objects that need to be moved for the frame, and then load back the camera, so the camera is in the same place, but the objects in the film are moved. So basically...

1. Move camera to needed position

2. Hit the "Save" button to have the camera's position stored in the database

3. Move objects in film

4. Hit the "Load" button to have the saved camera angle's be loaded back

5. cash money

III. Buttons

"Save" button - saves camera angle

"Load" button - loads camera angle

IV. Conclusion

      If you're lazy like me, you'd like as much help to do the least amount of work possible, and with this plugin, I could be at least 40% more lazy, and no, that is not an exaggeration. Most of my time is spent on steadying the camera and very carefully moving the objects so that it doesn't move. It would mean a lot to me if you guys could stride to help me get my plugin idea published.
