A buddy of mine has a rather successful shark survival game and has wanted ability for player to play as the shark, here’s the current work I’ve done! What’s your thoughts? 
Won’t let me upload the video file, here’s a link to see it working!

Thats very good, the shark model looks amazing! Reminds me of sharkbite lol
Also, maybe this shark cam position will be suitable?
A view from behind so player cant just spin his camera around and has to maneuver like an actual shark to see stuff around

Thanks! Haha yeah, similar.
Did you really just model that shark in that short period of time?! You’re insanely talented! Haha.
Would the view be like above the shark you mean but sitting behind a tad bit? He wants players to have a lil freedom of camera to look around but yeah I think that might work well. Thanks!!

Thanks haha, this shark is a big achievement in history of 3d modeling
Also yeah a bit behind will be good in my opinion, though i think it doesnt really matter that much and you can put it in both places and with some camera freedom it will end up the same

Haha, I’ll have to check out your other work! 3d modeling is something I lack in but love seeing what others create – quite talented individuals!
Agreed! Perhaps a view like this? Trying to think what would make it best for players to see where they’re attacking exactly. Thanks for the feedback!

Also for mobile I wrote the code so that the shark keeps swimming in whatever direction their camera is to make it easier for those players.

Yeah, i meant something like this. Maybe a bit more backwards an up so the player can see both the shark and the target?
Another option is just make the camera on the shark’s nose lol, this way a player will definitely see the target

Thats a nice decision, this will make mobile gameplay a bit more dynamic, maybe it would work well with PC too

Good point, perhaps a tad bit further up and back, yeah.
If were to lock camera into 1st person view, would definitely do the nose but doesn’t seem to look right otherwise.
Yeah, maybe a button to toggle that on / off wouldn’t be a bad idea!

Looks pretty good.
You’ll need to make the fins less stiff if you plan to keep the camera in the 3rd person.
