Good idea indeed, but sometimes camera moves are getting more and more severe..... I was hoping Vue could go further.....as in the master matte painter Deak Ferrand from HatchFX....check out some of the moving plates that had to be projected from SHooter....(make sure to check out the QT of the river fly over)

Imagine doing a shot like that with Vue.

Quote - Something else you might wanna try - you were saying it's hard to break this kind of thing up. The below link is to an image that was made by creating 5-6 planes of trees (on small mountains), brought into Photoshop for some tweaking, then After Effects for final composite and atmo effects.
Since they're broken up, I can even do a slight animation keeping them perpendicular to the camera. Too much and you'll really see that they're flat, but a little movement works just great!

Hope this helps-
