Techniques for a Dolly Move on a Twinning Shot?
Hello all! Considering a shoot where an actor pours a twin of himself a drink from across the bar as the camera is dollying away.
So they’re both relatively profile, camera is on the bar.
Pouring himself the drink and grabbing it is easy enough; we just have to not move the cup and make sure there’s some decent continuity between the time he sets it down and the time when he comes back in with different clothes.
The difficult part is the dolly move…I’d need motion control to do it properly. But I’m wondering if there’s any technique that could help me with doing it manually.
Obviously if I’m off by a single frame, it’s moot…but what if I shot at a higher framerate and then time-remapped any differences? Would that look completely bizarre?

My two cents. Stabilize the second shot, track the first, apply tracking data to a null and attach the second shot to that null. Result: unified motion.
