    Just as it says… Seems a simple enough Hollywood camera trick…

    Want to start far away high in the clouds, camera flying through to reveal the landscape to continue flying and tracking through to a figure upon a hilltop and then to their face in one continuous shot. It seems to me I would have to start far away deep in Z space and then move quite even deeper into the opposite of Z space to pull this off. I’ve seen this many times in animation, commercials, etc and wonder if there’s a simple – cheating approach to pull off that effect then separating the first position of the camera to the last position so intensely far apart to pull off that look. THANKS!!
