  Well, I've spent the past week tuning our boss fight camera algorithms so that the camera does its best to track the boss if they dash across the room or leap into the air. Nobody can really tell me how to do this outside of our company, because nobody else is dealing with a boss that moves like ours, nobody else has the same camera language constraints, and frankly dealing with algorithmic camera motion is not something most programmers ever have to do. I can look at our other code, I can look at other cameras in game & film, but ultimately it's just me down there in the code deciding whether the pull the camera in or pitch down or lengthen the lens or how to handle blends or whatever.

    Oh man camera systems. We had one dev and an animator spend months getting our camera system to the point where it felt natural. Definitely one of those things that takes a ton of work and only gets noticed when it goes wrong.
