Fly the camera from the place of death to the respawn point in a sensible time

After dying far from home, a fixed-length camera flight either crawls across a huge map or races past a short distance in a blink. Here is how the flight time grows with the distance without becoming boring, how it arcs, and when to skip it.

Why this works

A long trip does not feel proportionally longer, so waiting time should grow more slowly than the distance. Giving the flight a floor and a ceiling keeps short trips readable and huge ones from becoming a wait.

When not to use it

Skip it in fast games where players die often, or where dying should hurt little, such as arcade runs. A long flight each time becomes a punishment, so cut straight to the new spot with a short fade.
