This makes a layer (usually a null, or a text layer etc) face the camera by orienting it to match the camera's orientation in world space. This differs from the built-in "Look At Camera" function, which points a layer's Z axis at the camera's position. The difference is that objects that aren't perfectly central in the frame tend to tilt inwards a little with the built-in function; the code above keeps text [etc] perfectly straight, perfectly in line with the frame.
