Suggestions on how to film a sequence for post...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice prior to filming a sequence for a music video.

The whole music video is going to be really energetic and pretty much all handheld with like, 10 frame cuts and jerky/sharp motion. (Reference the Anberlin video "Godspeed" on youtube if you can). That look is what I'm going for as far as camera movement. At the end of the song I want all these meteors to come screaming towards the ground but here's my dihlema: I want to incorporate some of the dirt puffs, explosions, etc. from Action Essential 2 into this video but am wondering how to approach the filming aspect of it. It'd be an absolute bear to motion track shots of this nature I am assuming, correct?

I thought about shooting on a tripod and then adding in the motion later but isn't that essentially zooming in on the image, which in return loses visual quality and nice crisp HD? Plus, I've dabbled a touch in doing this effect and I've never really gotten absolutely great results from it. It looks like I added in the motion as opposed to looking like real movement. Tripod shots along with stand out like a sore thumb as well compared to how the rest of the footage will look.

Thoughts? Tips, Advice?
