Thanks, I based it off the scene in Naked Gun where the phone looks very close to the camera but is instead very large as you see when the guy picks it up.

Everyone knows how big a phone should be so no second object was needed to force perspective, but since joints vary in size an object of known size(the lighter) it put next to it.

Using Maya for planning movies is not limited to special effects, you can use it for planning blocking, lightings, mirror effects, framing, and you can create storyboards with it.

You can simulate your equipment with real constaints and thus be able to check that an angle is possible with your tripod and your camera. You can know if the light or the microphone will be in the shot.

If you figure this stuff out before hiring a crew you save a fortune.
