documentation	Two demos are found in the scene, click the "red text" on left or right to start. (a) SimpleShotsTest shows Zoom in/out, Pan left/right, Boom up/down, Tilt left/right, with each is defined by a CameraShot collecting a series of CameraMovements. (b) AimPointTest gradually slews the camera view to look at the sliding cube, then follows it around before returning to original viewpoint.
