The script for the camera controls in the video was also made by me, I expect to upload them to the asset store at some point, but for now, check them out on GitHub: https://github.com/luizppa/third-person-camera

Disclaimers

Multi core processors: in the video I mention that one CPU can only run one instruction at a time, while this is technically correct, it may oversimplify how processors work. For further information see https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zws8d2p/revision.
