That things grabs square kilometers of datas, but I think Googlemap has some kind of quantity restrictions. I remember the Microsoft Visual Earth equivalent to Googlemap offered less restrictions, pictures are less nice though.

There are programs that allow to grab images from google earth or microsoft equivalent at certain (rather high) level of detail.
Also OSM openstreetmap are good bases to grab.
Programs like City Engine comes to mind.

But in the end, it depends if your client has a decent budget, or just enoug to pay the copyrights.

We're going to have a conference call today so I can get more info from the director, but I'm guessing they're going to want a fairly fast move.

What about map data? Google Earth Pro has some good high res imagery, but their licensing requires credits on screen while the images are shown. Same thing goes for DigitalGlobe. This is for a documentary, so a lot is going to be determined by the budget.

    Depends on so many factors -- how quickly you're moving, does
    your landing zone stay in frame the whole time or do you fly over
    the horizon to get there, can you fly through clouds to create a
    transition, etc. etc.

    Mainly try very hard to map out a single smooth trajectory and
    stick to it -- don't try to use, say, an aerial still from the
    wrong perspective for a section.  Try to keep everything truly 3D
    -- there's a surprising amount of parallax on things like
    landforms, clouds and buildings when you're moving ridiculously
    fast.  It's also super hard to match color, sun angle, contrast,
    detail, and noise from multiple stills at different scales.

    Good luck, let us see the final!

    Has anyone on the list done the shot where you start from space
    and fly towards the earth, eventually landing at street level?

    In this case, I'm being asked about flying in to a recognizable
    location rather than a generic city in the future/alternative
    sci-fi universe.  Specifically Soho in NY.

    I'd appreciate any tips or warnings about what methods work well
    & what to avoid.

    Thanks,
