RE: figuring out distance for DOF.
The easiest way of doing this is to parent a null object to the camera
(make the null object the child that is). Then rotate the camera so it
is pointing at the object that you need the distance to. Now move the
null object in the Z-axis towards the target object. When it touches
the edge of the object, press 'n' and you'll be able to see the exact
distance from the camera to the edge of the object in the z-field.
