There's a "Memory Head" that 's made by Ultimatte, but it's very 
expensive. (Around $70,000.00 if I recall correctly.) Your camera is 
attached to the head, and the head memorizes the motion of the tilts and 
pans. It saves this info to a file, which with some conversion can be 
loaded up as a camera motion in Lightwave.

Ultimatte will be at NAB for those of you attending.
