Movie making

[elessarelendil]

hello people! this is something that has got me thinking and searching for months and the thing is that I need to do a shot that shows the first floor (where the actors are) and the second floor (cuz the cealing is hight), if you dont understand what am saying, see the helena's video from the very wonderful jaydee, in the church scene you can see what am talking about.

level up to the highest level on your lot (roof view) make sure you have your roof on (all walls up).
press tab to put your game in cameraman mode
press and hold the Q key to sink down into the shot. Use your mouse to adjust your POV

Once you're in cameraman mode, you'll need to use your keyboard to control your field of vision as it takes away the UI (user interface).

c key will take your pictures
v key will start recording video , press v again to stop.

you have to change that in your graphics/performance options.  
Turn object hiding off.
