Camera on rails

Hi, I'm trying to implement a sort of camera on rails intro to my game. Basically the game will open with you looking through the players eyes as he rides on a horse into town. The user doesnt have any control over the camera or movements, they just sit there until the character reaches his destination. The camera view then switches to the normal camera at ground level and the user can begin to control the player.
Unfortunatly I don't know if this is possible. Any hints on where I should start looking?

Or you can just... mount the player onto an AI player (horse) and keep the client in control of the player as the AI Player follows the path. I'm not sure if you can do that out of stock, but I heard that's how someone made a horse "vehicle" in general.

The stock pathed camera will do exactly this. Check out the demo scripts for an example on how to use it.
