Abstract
A multi-camera capture system is aligned using a capture system so that a subject remains in the field of view of a camera. In one embodiment of the present invention, the multi-camera system capture system is mounted on a camera platform. The camera platform is connected to a subject platform and the subject platform is constrained to remain in the field of view of a first camera of the multi-camera capture system. In another embodiment of the present invention, the multi-camera capture system is mounted on a camera platform that moves along a circular track system. The camera platform is configurable to align a first camera to capture a subject within the circular track system as the camera platform moves along the circular track system.
