There’s track matte in AE 5,5, or is that version 6? Anyway, can you precomp all the animated stuff that goes into the box and mask the precomp? That should do it.

Yeah, imageshack might be down, I’m having trouble loading that image too. It was fine just now. guess it’s just not meant to be. Anyway, I checked out the vanishing point thing in After effects. It seems like a pretty cool feature.
Here’s the tutorial in creativecow. Maybe it might just work! search results

Here’s a simplified picture to describe what I meant:
The high-resolution image idea will work very well if there’s no table or bed, or anything with certain depth in the foreground, else there might be a shift in perspective where you can’t replicate easily in After Effects when you zoom in.

I would imagine that you don’t even need the colored paper. What if you have 4 tracking points that’s continuously in the shot. So, as you zoom in on the wall and finally rest on the 4 trackers still in frame.
Next, you do up your video wall in After Effects, precompose them into a layer, track the 4 trackers in the footage, and apply the match move data into the video wall. Apply a little drop shadow and it should look like post cards plastered on the wall.

Well, if it’s a pan over, I guess I would use a two point tracker to stablize the motion first. Composite the building over, remove the stablize in the live footage and apply that to my building shot. That should be the short of it.

Well, All you have to do is render it out with alpha channel. Either targa, png or other image sequences like rla, rpf and etc.
Next thing you do is import it in after effects, interpret with premultipled with a black background if you rendered it with black background.
I’m not really sure if it helps, but if your live footage is locked down(no camera movement), it should be an easy import and composite. Hope it helps
