I did roughly two sheets of design but lost them to file corruption. The idea behind the camera is that it can move along a sort of rail along the ceiling, whereas it's spherical shape allows it to look in any direction unhindered.
The sphere and camera are the same object; there are two more objects to the camera, a beveled square block and a pentagon surrounding the sphere that looks like it holds it in.
It didn't take long to prepare or animate or make, though I believe it did it's job well if only to be on screen for a very small amount of time. This use of prop efficiency I think is rare, as there are few such things that can convey so much narrative in so short amount of time. I could and would have made additional props had I more time that could or would contribute to the same effect.
Another prop necessary for perhaps one scene alone was the bomb planted by the ninja, made by another groupmember.
