Here's an Download game that runs in real-time. There are a few frame syncing issues. I'm not used to coding in multi-threaded environments.

These images are in-game screenshots. Characters are positioned within a static bus model and cycle through animation states randomly. The appearance of motion is created by placing sprites around the exterior of the bus and mapping a camera view onto the backdrop surfaces. The effect is a live composite scenes reminiscent classic hollywood movies of the 30's and 40's.

The camera is scripted dynamically frame views based on main character location. Model trucks move along pre-defined paths and stop and stop if the character is in the road. A bird circles around the limited terrain.
