What it does
Camera Cinematography is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Cinematic camera work in Blender including framing, lenses, composition, camera animation, and shot language beyond basic rendering setup via MCP.
Its SKILL.md is about 660 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/camera-move-library.md`, `references/dof-guide.md` and `references/lens-and-composition.md`).
It sits in Game Development. It works with Model Context Protocol and Blender. The repository describes itself as: 94 specialist Blender skills for Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro & Codex - MCP-powered production pipeline from blockout to engine export. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Game Development work in your project

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f778d2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Camera Cinematography loads about 663 tokens when it runs, and up to ~878 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 222 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Camera Cinematography
Intentional framing. Lens language. Motivated camera moves. Shot-ready cameras.
When to Use
- Cinematic stills and turntables with purpose
- Animated camera moves (dolly, crane, orbit, handheld)
- Matching reference camera / lens feel
- Shot layout for lookdev and portfolio
Workflow
Shot intent → Camera + target empty → Lens/FOV → Composition
→ Focus/DoF → Move (if animated) → Viewport check → Render/compNaming

Lens Guide
| Feel | Focal (FF equiv) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wide establishing | 18–28mm | Distortion; watch edges |
| Story / product | 35–50mm | Natural |
| Portrait / hero | 85–135mm | Compression |
| Tele drama | 150mm+ | Flat space |
Sensor fit and resolution affect FOV — set camera sensor intentionally.
Composition Checklist
- Subject readable in silhouette
- Headroom / lead room intentional
- Horizon level (unless motivated)
- Foreground / mid / background depth
- Avoid tangent mergers on edges
Camera Animation
| Move | Use |
|---|---|
| Orbit | Product / character showcase |
| Dolly in | Reveal / tension |
| Crane | Scale / establishing |
| Handheld noise | Documentary / horror unease |
| Locked off | Archviz / product purity |
Animate camera + target empties; prefer slow ease-in/out.
DoF
- Focus on primary subject empty
- F-stop for style: shallow for hero, deeper for environments
- Preview in Eevee; final in Cycles if needed
Constraints
MUST DO
- Name cameras and targets
- Match aspect ratio to delivery
- Check framing at start, mid, end of moves
MUST NOT DO
- Default 50mm for every shot without intent
- Animate FOV wildly unless motivated
- Crop critical silhouette out of frame
