I have a simple problem that I’m unable to tackle:  
For a site I have a compass that is deformed to make it seem that it’s lying down on the ground. I want to rotate it a little bit toward three different points around the compass.

It’s no problem to make it turn around with AS, but is there a smart way to keep it in perspective ?  
I’m not able to post a picture, but just imagine a square picture that has been scaled inward (horizontally) at the top…like looking at a piece of paper that’s in front of you.

Any ideas ? Or impossible with a fixed image ?
