Time-lapse orbital construction video question

[DasValdez]

Mods, please move if this is the wrong forum. I couldn't decide exactly where this fit, but this audience probably has the best chance of a successful reply.

Has anyone accomplished a time-lapse construction video shot from third person? Envision a space station being constructed, shot from a fixed point relative to a part on the station.

I've looked at the Cinematics plugin, but I don't see how it would help do this...

Perhaps some way of in game recording/playback? Is there a mod that records game data and allows you to play it back from different viewpoints? A spectator mod? Again I am stumped.

In Minecraft I'd use an alt account on a different computer, but KSP's lack of native multiplayer nixs that idea. Has anyone tried with one of the MP mods, like Dark? Even then, station-keeping a camera-dolly-probe at a fixed relative position would be nearly impossible... like windmills, Orbits Do Not Work That Way!

Apologies again if this is misplaced, and TIA.
