This is one of my animations. This time I outsourced the directing to a friend. Just because this project is not live action doesn't mean it wasn't a lot of work. We spent 4 hours filming and then about 4 more hours editing. A sandbox game is as good a place as any to practice camera moves and techniques. You have total control of lighting and shading conditions as well as controlled camera movements. A similar circular crane shot in the real world would have cost $100,000.
