Easiest way would be to unparent the camera. And throw something similar to the following in your update.

int DistanceAway = 10; Vector3 PlayerPOS = GameObject.Find("Player").transform.transform.position; GameObject.Find("MainCamera").transform.position = new Vector3(PlayerPOS.x, PlayerPOS.y, PlayerPOS.z - DistanceAway);

This will keep the camera bound the the players X and Y coordinates while placing the camera 10 meters from the player. Then all you have to do is the the cameras rotation in the editor. That or for the rotation use .LookAt(target); with the player being the target.

Just put this script on your Main Camera. Set the cameraOrientationVector to how far from your character you want it to be. And tilt the camera in scene view for the angle.

 using UnityEngine;
        using System.Collections;

        public class CameraScript : MonoBehaviour 
        {
            Transform playerTransform;

            Vector3 cameraOrientationVector = new Vector3 (0, 15, -10f);


void Start () 
    {



       playerTransform = GameObject.Find ("Player").transform;
    }

        void LateUpdate () 
            {

               transform.position = playerTransform.position + cameraOrientationVector;

            }
        }

Hey!

Take a look at the 2d platformer tutorial: here and check out the script on the camera

good luck

cheers!

var camTarget:Transform; function Start () {

}

function Update () {

transform.LookAt(camTarget);

}

Put this on the camera:

 function LateUpdate() 
 {  
 camera.transform.rotation=Quaternion.Euler(Vector3(90, 0, 0));  // 90 degress on the X axis - change appropriately
 }

It forces the rotation. I dont know if this is the best way of doing this but works.
