Technical Extras:

This technique would work even if the people were standing still. (Head and shoulders crop at the close view swinging back to full body at the far view)
If they shifted their weight and then stood still and then shifted their weight as the cameras sequentially fired around them. (controlled manually by me)
Then the front person would move (like live action) as they came around and settle in as a still frame of their hero position. Maybe three frames from this hero camera where the live action settles into a still. Then they would have movement, again, as they rolled smaller into the background.

In the above example, they could have ran counterclockwise from 3 o'clock and jumped at 12 o'clock staying frozen till 9 o'clock then come back to the ground as they went to 6 o'clock and back into a run by 3 o'clock.

This style interface would also work for a set of table top objects.
—Hero light in front ...dimming as objects go into the background.... as if everything was on a giant lazy susan.

Whatever you can think of...... We can make it happen.
