Claim:
1. A method, comprising: reading parameters of a first variable pointing camera system; determining parameters for a plurality of other variable pointing camera systems based on the parameters of the first variable pointing camera system and mapping data for the camera systems, wherein the first variable pointing camera system and the plurality of other variable pointing camera systems are positioned around a dynamic scene, such that, at a point in time, each of the variable pointing camera systems is aimed at a moving target within the dynamic scene and a size of the target in an image from each of the variable pointing camera systems is substantially the same; and controlling the plurality of other variable pointing camera systems based on the parameters for the plurality of other variable pointing camera systems wherein the mapping data includes initial calibration data established when the plurality of other variable pointing camera systems are installed at the dynamic scene, and wherein a first of the other variable pointing camera systems is taken off line during filming of the dynamic scene, re-calibrated to adjust the initial calibration data, and returned on line during filming.
