Two vehicles driven at different speeds parallel to one another is a great one dimensional way to introduce relative motion. When viewed from above using a quadcopter drone, it is even better! Thanks Aaron Fown of [url="http://www.firstuav.co"]FirstUAV[/url] for providing the wonderful, non-terrestrial viewpoint.
