or perhaps I misunderstand.  (wouldn't be the first time :-))  right, but does
anything in the scene have to move ?  thinking an array (csv file ?) of camera
"details" and use that to instantiate a set/list of cameras should work.

kind of unrelated, could the "camera slit" not also be had/"emulated" using
partial output ?
