As in an intro:
Spoiler below!

Your PlayerStart is a camera, and you use things like:

PHP Code:
void AddPlayerBodyForce(float afX, float afY, float afZ, bool abUseLocalCoords); 
Pushes the player into a certain direction. Note that you need values above ~2000 to see any effects.

afX - amount along the X-axis
afY - amount along the Y-axis
afZ - amount along the Z-axis
abUseLocalCoords - If true, axes are based on where the player is facing, not the world.

PHP Code:
void MovePlayerHeadPos(float afX, float afY, float afZ, float afSpeed, float afSlowDownDist); 
Changes the position of the camera on the player's body.

afX - amount along the X-axis
afY - amount along the Y-axis
afZ - amount along the Z-axis
afSpeed - speed at which the change happens
afSlowDownDist - distance at which to start slowing down (prevents the head from abruptly stopping)

You may need to put them in a timer which loops however if you want to make it move for quite a while.


Otherwise, I got nothing. You might be able to play around with billboard animations if you mean just having the player looking at an image.

Also: if you mean between loading screens, no I don't think so.
