matching Camera Perspective
I've embarked on a little project which will eventually allow me to experiment with realflow. my only hurdle at the moment is my lack of understanding of perspective. I've made a maya scene (correct proportions modelled from an image)and i am trying to match a cg stationary camera to the scene. I thought this would be easy but I am really struggling to match a camera to the image. You will see from the attachment what I mean. This has been done successfully in CG before with a 50mm lens but I fail so far.
Any thoughts/approaches would be great!
Thanks J

thanks for your input guys. all my previous efforts with matchmoving have been based around automatically generated cameras from boujou calculated from moving cameras.
Please let me know if im heading in the righ direction with the angle. Any comments as always will be warmly welcomed
Thanks

It certainly was. Kubrick was a genius.That was a cool scene in the original movie.
