If you wanted to see what it would be like if the world truly did revolve around you, here is a really cool image sequence where the camera view is held fixed to the background stars: https://artuniverse.eu/gallery/190705-rotation24h

I think the video linked to by this blog entry is spectacular.
Astrophotography Blog, the Curdridge Observatory: Very Large Telescope (VLT) HD Timelapse video [neutral.org]
I link to the blog itself, rather than direct to the video, as the blog explains a couple of the things you see.
Someone reprocessed that video to make the stars stationary and show the earth moving instead, which gave a very good feel for the earth's rotation, but I can't find a link for that version*.
You could do teh same (reprocessing) for bits of the 'The Mountain [vimeo.com]' video filmed on Mount Teide on Tenerife.
This is another timelapse of the Chilean telescopes with the camera pointing down the axis of rotation: ESO: VLT time-lapse [eso.org]
There's also this: ORBEM TERRÆ - Earth rotation time-lapse compilation 4K [youtube.com]
*Not true - it is probably this. I can't tell due to computer and/or connectivity problems which means I can't play streamed videos right now.
Time Lapse Sky Shows Earth Rotating Instead of Stars (fixed audio) [youtube.com] I would prefer to link to the original, but it might have succumbed to copyright/bit-rot.
