Vfx shot advice please

I’m interested in using images as planes to add in a person w. the green screen keyed out. My issue is: I want the person to pick up a pool stick (that is modeled in the scene) and use that pool stick to hit a ball on a pool table (also all modeled). I’m wondering about how that’s going to look when the live-action footage interacts with the 3d modeled pool table/stick.

Also, if anybody is familiar with the tutorial below, I’m wondering if all the steps mentioned in the tutorial would be necessary/possible if the footage was shot on a tripod (i’m talking about correcting for when the subject moves away from the camera in terms of depth).

Thank you kindly :slight_smile:

I would do a camera track and a basic scene reconstruction with shadow catchers and so andan then just overlay the render with the video (no need for the Video to be in the scene with a plane)
