Video Camera through ceiling

I have a job that requires a video camera to jib up and through the ceiling and then up from the floor in an upstairs room. Is it as easy as having the camera lens level with the ground and lifting up, and then having the camera level to the floor and lifting up and then adding an AE transition with the 2x4s and stuff between the floors with motion blur added? Or does the camera lense have to be tilted up a bit to anticipate the arriving ceiling and then tilted down when it is coming up from the floor? I'm not sure how to go about this...
Any advice would be great! Thanks!

Is it a real set?
I'd persenally keep the lens level. ~See Ghost, Fight Club, Panic Room, Various episodes of Buffy~
I think it looks better that way but if it were to simulate a floating/rising spirit or astral projection etc it would be cool to look up as you said.
Just my 2 cents but David Fincher did it best in Panic Room and Fight Club.
