Camera issues; objects are not showing up.

I have a camera parented to an empty object that is running the follow code. In my test scene I have a default plane, cube and an empty focus object at 0,0,0. When I attempt to run the scene the camera snaps to the correct place; however the neither the plane nor cube show up in the camera preview. In scene preview the camera's viewbox does contain the plane and cube. Camera projection has been set to Orthographic with nothing else touched from default. Not sure what is causing the issue.
