    Okay, so I’m sure this is an effect everyone sees from time to time, but I’m curious about the best way to tackle it.
    First off this is an effect that’s made up off two separate shots each intended to match the other (but without the use of a motion control rig). The first shot – Side A – has a dolly move pushing in toward the subject. After a few beats there’s a dissolve (rotoscoping is used to separate the Actor from Side A as we make the transition to Side B) to Side B. On set they made their best attempt at matching the move from Side A (by hand), but no matter what, these two (without a motion controlled rig) will never match by themselves.
    What’s the best way to handle this?
    I’ve heard something about stabilizing one of them to match but that’s where I lost ’em. Please help and thanks in advance.
