Thanks! The 3D hills are no less 3D than any other 3D scene displayed on a 2D monitor. It's a heightmap (of a real place) rendered with correct perspective.

Getting the samples to output at the correct time during the end titles required a painstaking amount of cycle-counting, measuring, and iteration.

wow, that's amazing that it could be done so efficiently that we get such a fluid animation, thanks for explaining!
