Honestly, the outcome of this was a bit of a failure. Even though the render itself looks cool, the camera movement didn't really work for this purpose and it also made it hard to see the movement of the shadow. I'll have to rethink this one, but that doesn't mean that the recorded video is any worse.
Hope it's useful for someone.
