I'm new to POV, and I'm trying to make a camera follow a certain path. For a
total time of 5, I want the camera to spend 0<t<1 at a certain point, then
move along a specific circular path over time 1<t<2, and then remain at the
end
point of this path for t>2. This is the code i wrote for it, but it doesn't
seem to work. I'm sure I'm missing someting stupidly obvious, but could
someone give me a hand. Either de-bug or a pointer in the right direction
would be helpful.

Thx,

//declare variables for camera motion
#declare loopcount = 0;
#declare X = 0;
#declare Y = 0;
#declare Z = -3.5;
#declare Ystep = -.01375;
#declare Zstep = -.0125;

#if (clock <= 1)
camera {
 location <0,0,-3.5 >
 look_at <0,0,0>}

#else #if (clock <= 2)
 //move camera coords
  #while loopcount <= 200
   Y = Y + Ystep;
   Z = Z + Zstep;
  #end // end while
 camera {
  location <0, Y, Z >
  look_at <0,0,0>
  }

#else
 camera{
  location<0,-2.75,-1>
  look_at<0,0,0>
  }
 //end cameras
