Planning: Cutscene

I'm planning to create a cutscene which will be displayed at the beginning of the game before the user can start playing.

The cutscene would involve the protagonist, looking around the room he's in from 1st person view. He would then close his eyes and open them again - almost a blink. Several minutes would have gone by and it would now be night time instead of day.

In order to create this cutscene, I would first use the model I created in Google Sketchup and rotate around the room using the eyesight tool.

There is also an animation feature in Google Sketchup, so I am able to add frames from different look positions which would then be smoothly animated together in Google Sketchup once rendered as a video.

I plan to then import the video into Flash and trace around it. This would create a keep the cartoon look and still keep its 3D appearance.
