Pulling up the box

This is a hybrid live-action and temp cg shot of the thieves starting to pull up the treasury chest. The virtual camera gave me plenty of trouble getting a smooth tilt down off of the thieves - right now it jerks rather abruptly. It didn't seem like much could be done and this was the best result I could get out of the camera curves. Strange, usually the camera is very easy to finesse. I like the abrupt camera tilt - seems to add a good amount of energy to what is a slow developing scene. If I want to slow it later, after effects allows me to warp time with time remapping (essentially retiming a shot a la Matrix where footage slows down or speeds up).
