You can do a screen capture then animate the flyover in AE or you can do the fly over in google earth capture it live with Snapz pro and import that file.
Andrew Kramer has a tutorial on how to make an earth fly-in. But he takes still screen shots at different altitudes, this way you can cut out googles logo and inferface.
Any idea where you buy the hi-rez photos from? I have a customer that is looking for something almost identical to that.
I have tried screen grabs from Google Earth, but when I take them into AE they have only saved at 1024x743, no where near as big as the ones in the tutorial.
