    There are probably a number of ways to accomplish this shot, but just looking at the result, I would have shot the street part with a locked camera and built geometry to project the video onto in a 3D package like Lightwave or Maya. Then it’s a matter of rotoing the Conchords out to put that video behind them, and any camera movement you would add after the fact.

    There’s always a half-dozen or more ways to pull off a shot, and another way (which would have a different look to it), would have been to actually project the video itself onto the wall with no post effects needed. Of course, you’d have to put the projected video together before shooting on the street, and then you’d have no way of changing it later. Doing it as a post effect gives you the ability to change something if you need to.
