Scanline, the world-famous VFX Company ("300", "Poseidon") prepared Maya scripted flight-paths that were imported into the Skywalker System via 'Autodesk 3Ds Max'. That way the Skywalker System could exactly track the pre-shot backplates while flying the actors in front of the greenscreen. In addition to the 'normal' 3D-flight-paths the actors were rotated around their horizontal axis.
