Note:Certain effects such as rain from a func_precipitation and the survivors flashlights do not display while cameras are in use. To get around the rain not appearing, use an info_particle_system set to rain_intro above the cameras view, disable it once your intro is finished.
Warning:Do not use the Enable input of this entity if the activator is not a survivor, or it will function as a global camera that effects every survivor.

point_viewcontrol_survivor is an e0 available in 
Left 4 Dead series.
It is a survivor specific camera, that can be used to zoom the camera in from a 3rd person view begining at the cameras location, automatically towards the survivors head ending with a 1st person view.
Valve used this entity as an "intro" camera for the first map of every campaign, while the camera is a child of a "Ghostanim.mdl" prop_dynamic. This model has an attachment point which all four point_viewcontrol_multiplayer cameras (one for each player) follow.
