After my first attempt went pretty wrong, I went back to the drawing board. I once again overlayed the shots and adjusted the opacity first, in order to get an idea of where the problem areas were in the shot to begin with.
I took a 16-point garbage matte effect (instead of 8-point) and made another attempt to refine the shot down to just Dan. Due to the fact I adjusted the opacity first, I knew where the problem areas first. I was able to cut down the shot a lot better using this knowledge. However, the problems with the location in the shot were still there but less apparent. This was frustrating as I thought I had solved the problem. I began to believe that the problem was actually in the camera angle and not the way I was editing the effect. Once again, I wanted to attempt to edit this better, so I resolved to using the 32-point garbage matte.
