Camera setup script finished..enjoy
 
here's a script I've been working on. It'll make camera animation alot easier. Some people have helped me create it when I got stuck on the coding, so if you like it use it.

What it will do is create a number of cameras with a name ou provide and create group transforms so you can animate easily for each transform node, as I lock out the non editable/animatable transforms you don't want..

here's the code...
