What you'd probably need to do then -- if space allows -- if you want the
entire Saturn stack without the perspective distortion, is to shoot frames
while translating along the length of the vehicle while maintaining
distance and viewing angle, instead of "swinging" from the hips and
panning down the length of it.

Which would be easier to do with the horizontal Sat V at KSC than the
vertical full size model in Huntsville.

....How so? IIRC, there's a sidewalk running parallel to the Huntsville
S-V as there is at JSC. Just set two legs of the tripod on the edge of
the sidewalk, and start moving down one end to the other.
