A quick thought, and perhaps something to think about (and hopefully not confuse the issue), the low angle perspective you're talking about was common in Renaissance painting, especially in large altar pieces. In Italian the term in "da basso in su." Think Tiepolo.

Interesting, John. I like Tiepollo, but these are kids I'm doing. No high drama, so to speak.
