But It Was Shot On A Crane!

With some regularity, customers are presented with shots for which a 3-D track is desired. They are assured "It was shot on a crane" (and sometimes "It was hand-held") as if that magically meant that a 3-D solution was a given. This tutorial looks at one such shot, how to detect it, and what to do about it.
