I would put it all in one file and use POV-Ray's animation facility to
achieve the various camera positions. You can do something like this:
camera {
[...]
location <0, -50, -100>
look_at <0, -50, 0>
rotate <0, 30*clock, 0>
}
This will cause the camera to rotate around the origin with a radious
of 100, with 30 degrees every time unit. You can also set the camera
position directly using sin and cos, should you prefer that:
camera {
[...]
location <100*cos(radians(30*clock)), -50, 100*sin(radians(30*clock))>
look_at <0, -50, 0>
}
