i was thinking of building a contraption with a motor that makes the camera move exactly the same way every time, but i dont know what the best method for levitation would be.
I want him to move around the room. first idea was a chroma box that moves around and supports his weight, but that may be hard to do as the location i wanted to use has carpet.
The other way is to use a green screen, hang him with wires, then move the camera back and forth to simulate him moving around the room. I thought that would look more realistic than scaling the key up and down.
what dyall think? any easier way to do this?
 
If you can repoduce the shot with your camera motor setup, just put him on some sort of raised dolly and drag him standing up through the scene, then roto or key if you have a BG that can also go on such a dolly.

Thats the best answer I can give with out more detail on what exactly your shot is, and what end result you need.
