Are there any compositing experts out there?

You will have to do some serious scale and lens maths to make this work. You will also need to be very accurate with the measurements that you take from your tripod. And any kind of camera movement will pretty much fail unless you have a motion control rig.
You might be able to get something close and use corner pinning or warping to fix any issues.
I would be interested to hear if this setup works but I would probably go the VFX route if it was my project.

It’s bad, just not insanely bad. The focal length of the lens doesn’t matter, it just crops so you can scale any differences (yes, I’m ignoring the aspect of barrel distortion) so your main measurements are angle and camera/focus distance. You can scale from there…. but at that point I would really wonder how much this ceiling adds; huge factory vent fans, fine, but if it’s an extension of the normal ceiling then I’d wonder the point.
Doing measurements manually is agonizingly slow and it also locks you in each camera position.

I’m not talking scale though, it’s 1:1. And yes, I realize now tracking would be difficult to impossible.
