This is for a motion graphics video. In [scene], move the camera with a "Helix Shot" (also called a helix): it circles the subject while climbing or descending at the same time, tracing a spiral around it.
The subject should hold the centre of the frame while the background slides sideways behind it and the ground opens up or closes in as the height changes — a plain orbit stays at one height.
Run it over [duration] as one continuous spiral, turning and rising at an even pace.
