Thanks for the advice, but it won't work in the given situation.
The animation is happening inside a room, where the parts are placed on a table. From there they are moved up in front of the camera, where I wish for them to rotate (one by one).
Rotating the camera in this situation would make the room spin around, which isn't desireable.
No, I haven't tried. But I know it won't work, since I don't want the room to spin around. Besides the parts are not centered in the view, which they will be with the suggested solution.
