Hi, I still like to use ye olde La Maison's Projection Plane generator which will create simple depth controlled image planes which can be animated or expression controlled. (I haven't really looked at the alternatives so they may do the same)
BG planes are good, but I often like to create other depths of alpha keyed footage (especially foreground) in the viewport for reference when you're animating. Couldn't see it on rray so it's attached. Get Primitive->Camera->Create LMProjectionplane when it's installed.
