This page has a very cool suggestion that exploits the innate ability of CGI to ignore real-world physical laws: configurable camera optics that can "shoot" multiple angles of their "subjects." The possibilities for this concept are really interesting. CGI need not be such a slavish imitation of the cameras we're all familiar with.
