Hey there everyone!

My name's Andy, I'm 17 years old and live in the UK, and I'm currently working on making my second feature film, titled "Frosty the Badman". It's an 80s action film in the style of Die Hard, Predator, etc, and I'm hoping to make it as ambitious as I can! It's all set in a dystopian city, sort of like The Crow, or Gotham, in LA - it's a fictional place called Hell's Basin and this is something I've decided will have to be created in post production. The opening scene of the film features a shot that pans back through the city and into the sky - which is going to require a whole city to be made via 3D animation. I am possibly the most inept person with computers ever, so if anybody thinks they'd be interested in helping out with this project then please let me know and we can discuss it further! :) I'm desperate for some help and I really hope you guys can help out! Thanks everyone!

Regards,
Andy.
 
This is in color then? Because B&W would be easier for VFX.

You don't need a whole city made in 3D for the 3D effect. The most common way is to use image planes at various depths of pieces of the city.
I'm not interested in doing any VFX work but I'd be happy to help point you in the right direction and give ideas if possible.

edit: Or maybe find some stock footage. Artbeats for example or maybe google "city flyovers video". There are some clips on vimeo and such. Maybe contact the proprietor if you like any of them.
For example: http://vimeo.com/36128512 is pretty cool.

Hey man, sorry I took so long to reply to you!

This is indeed in colour, though that's annoying since B&W would be easier! But thanks man, it's nice of you offer a response at all, especially guidance on the right direction. I'll dig a little deeper and if nothing surfaces, I'll certainly advise you for some more help. You've helped me already with the information as what I'm describing to people might be the wrong thing - at least now I have some technical terms I can refer to so thank you! I'll have a look at the stock footage links, it wasn't an option I'd considered beforehand but now I think about it, it could be a worthwhile route.

Thanks for your help again man, speak soon!
