Here is a trick I have learned:
When setting up a set....like say the throne room.
Sometimes a wall or object will come in the way of a great camera angle.
So any wall/object/prop that might hinder a camera angle what I do is create a
pose slider for that particular object and call it "Squish"
What it does is squish the object all the way to the floor, and after the shot is complete I can unsquish it.
Dunno if this is common or not but thought I would share this idea.
