Default Google Earth/ I don't really know what to call this thread

I am making a short movie and for the intro I want to do something that many other movies, especially war movies, do. I want to go to google earth and find my house. Then I want to zoom all the way out, and take a picture. Then zoom in some and take a pic, then zoom in some more and take a pic, and so on until I get to my house. Then I want to make this into a movie/slideshow and add sound effects for everytime the picture changes. So basically I will be drilling in on my house with the pictures.

I have watched a ton of movies that do this, I just cant remember what they are titled. Can someone tell me what the name of a few of them are?

I hope you get what I am trying to say above.
Thanks

Enemy of the State?
Sum of all Fears?
Battlefield 2 Intro?
I am pretty sure that 1 and 3 is what you are looking for.

Yeah, the BF2 is almost exactly what I want, but I have no idea how to do that. Do you know of any that are a little bit more simple?

Thanks

The game Star Wars Battle Front has a loading screen that is almost exactly what you are looking for.

umm.. this would take some time, and be pretty difficult but i think that its possible.

You would need to basically record google earth zooming in and so forth, crop the video and edit it.

Sorta like using print screen then editing it on photoshop.
