The reason why the current clockless animation is even possible is *because*
it lacks the flexibility you're now needing...

I think instead of storing a number, it stores some special object saying it
has to animate that number. When the first frame is done, it updates that
one number and re-renders.

If you want to run any more complex code to move the camera, it will have to
re-parse to run the code again...
