The script places the camera roughly at the 'nose' position of the minfig, this asuming you're using a minifig submodel like in the example. If not you need to adjust the coordinates, given at the top of the script.

A camera without angles always looks along the z-axis (blue one in the compass).

Once the animation is paused normal (trackball) camera control is enabled, what you want to do would need interactive animation so the script can calculate things not just based on the frame time but also on mouse interaction etc. Like I said this is a planned 1.7 feature.
