Naturalistic Camera Moves in Image Compositing
Richard Patterson · SMPTE Journal · 1989
The absence of any camera movement in composited images often undermines the credibility of the composite or gives the images an awkward quality. To overcome this limitation, a portable, computerized pan/tilt head has been developed, capable of repeating pans, tilts, zooms, and focus pulls with the accuracy required for image compositing. It can be operated in the same way as a conventional fluid head tripod, or it can be remotely controlled by a variety of means.
