    Hello,
    One possible way to achieve this type of shot transition that I have used is to film/video the sequence timeline edit points before and after the transition/cut without anyone in it (this is to be used as a composite track in post).
    Next, with care and accurate timing reflim/video the exact time line involving the transition/cut sequence again with the actor(s) present.
    Then when editing you can blend the composite(s) any way you see fit. If done with great precision (on behalf of your camera work and the actors ability to recreate the motion path) you can even make people change outfits while in mid-stride. Thus, if you and your actor(s) timing are on you don’t even need to have a wall cutout or tree to hide the edit. Not the easiest thing to do, but I have achieved great results from this method in budget film/video shoots. Hope this is of some use.

    Thanks so much.
