Miniature photography

Thanks for the replies

Another question. If I were to shoot, say a helicopter shot for real, and then track the shot in 3D, is it possible to feed this tracking information to a motion control camera, that will repeat the move on a miniature set, in order to blend the two?

It's a long ways off, but if it happens, believe it or not, I may in fact have peter Jackson levels of resources at my disposal. (Hows that for teasing!)

Possible, yes. Sensible? That depends on what it is you're shooting, and the resources you have at your disposal.

In my situation, I don't need a snorkel. I just need maximum DOF in order to keep an 18" long subject in perfect focus even with a ratio of 1/12th or 1/15th.

Has anyone done this?

What would be the optimum setup to achieve this trick?

Would the Scarlett's 2/3" sensor be an option (or would the lens not work out even with adaptors ... or is Jim giving it interchangeable mount???)

Over cranking (frame rate higher than 24 fps) has to be used in inverse relation (sqrt, I think) to the ratio of the size of the miniature and real world objects.
