I think the shots are fine as they are but if one did want to add a bit more dynamism to the camera movement, a bit of rotation could help. Here's a rough demonstration of the idea: http://uloz.to/xqKJtVAq/escape-from-hoth-revisited-mp4

Wow! That's it! Fantastic! I think this brings the sequence further in line with the original's lensing - and the best of both worlds is now enjoyed; the liveliness of the initial camera work, in consort with sterling new model and effects work. I really hope this will be taken into consideration!
