How do most people out there composite their reflection passes into a live background plate?
It's a challenge to be able to mask out what was already in the reflection of the real object, and also pick back up some of the surface properties that were there.
My guess is that a lot of it is faked and dependent upon making it look 'good enough', and there's no surefire way each time. This applies to animation. Still frames are easy enough.
