In this shot the camera flies over the medieval town and reveals the arena. For this sequence a helicopter shot of the full size arena set was tracked and that data used to create a camera path in space. This information was then be applied to an accurate 3D representation of the Cyclops motion control system using “rig chase” and adjusted according to the position and scale of the model town in the studio. The motion control rig was programmed directly using this data, on set. Different elements were shot including mattes and a foreground church spire to add more depth to the sequence.
