The XML tag something to 'change point of view to' could be easier to
understand for machinima artists and will give them more artistic power. The
data specified by this tag theoretically should accept entity number to
follow, or fixed point in space (with, or without transition between old and
new positions). I remember using keygrip and the key features it had, so I
feel like that if we put the feature this way, we will be at best.
