Update to my animatic video. Thank you to everyone commenting and emailing me about the existence of not only an addon to import Sketchup files directly into Blender (no more need for Sketchup Pro) but also that it's possible to capture and import Google maps models!
I'll still get use out of Google Earth Studio (capturing models is a little fiddly) but this will really come in handy for certain things. Here are tutorials for these things:
Sketchup to Blender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjEQ4...
Google maps top Blender: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_Xsm...

I really appreciate the fact that you are a Hollywood director, and that you still care about teaching people on YouTube how to get certain things done you just learned with excitement

That's the nice thing about Blender: if you ever say to yourself "I wish there was a way to do X in Blender" there's probably a plug-in that does that.

I’ve only just seen lights out the other night and it’s not as terrifying as I intended it to be. Love the film David keep up the good work :) Cya

So according to google doing the import is against the terms of service, for personal use I feel like it shouldn’t be an issue...I haven’t seen google come after anyone. I did however find out that that it’s also possible to use a drone to scan landscapes yourself. Which is definitely something I’ll be doing a lot.
