I want to translate the camera in this scene without messing up the text 
that should be displayed on the screen. I have tried adding the 
translation step to the CameraTransform variable, but it is producing 
odd results.

This is what I tried:

#declare CameraTransform	= transform
{
	rotate	<atand(sind(45)),45,0>
	translate y/2
}

The rotation seems to work okay, but not the translation.

Can someone help? Thanks!

Forgot to mention that the scene is meant to be animated, so go ahead 
and set the clock value to 0.5 or some other value.

I was able to figure out a solution on my own. Disregard this thread.
