BUT for this animation, I owe everything to Mister Piotr Tatar :  
 → [https://www.youtube.com/@john\_zi](https://www.youtube.com/@john_zi) ]

Indeed, all I did here was to check if I was able, with Blender, to reproduce this animation by ‘Piotr Tatar’ (on 3dsmax, vray, nuke) : " Hans Zimmer - Time" [here : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQj8e60USMM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQj8e60USMM) ]

I hope no one will hold it against me: let’s just say it inspired me. And it was also an excuse to try a musical semblance. Also, to test the possibilities of Blender’s Video Edition . . (!).

Ps: I’m now seeing a problem I’d forgotten about: probably poor focal length management, or something like that: because the height distortion of the spinning top is exaggerated, annoying. Or maybe it’s because of the video export format… I don’t know: I couldn’t fix that.
