Comping rotoed actors into shot backplates

[ddinisco]

We have been given the task to composite rotoscoped actors from various TV dramas into scenes with ‘everyday’ actors that we will shoot. We are trying to make it appear as though these TV stars are interacting with everyday people. We will be shoot the ‘everyday’ people on location, leaving a space to insert the Hollywood star. We will only need to insert one or two stars from the same show into each scene.

Other than attempting to match the lighting, frame rate and camera angle on the set, are there are things that we should be keeping our eye on or investigate ahead of time? Eye line seems like a big concern, what would be the best way to match this?

Thanks in advance.
