I know that in After Effects you can create a synthetic light to match the one in the Animation. (Keyframing or tracking)
And you can create a primative (Biped) in 3ds, Maya, XSI etc. and match it's movements to the one in video so it will have shadows on sufaces to correspond w/ the position of the live-action character.
It's Not that hard when you have programs to track the motion instead of you:
Maya Live (In Maya Unlimited)
Match Mover
etc...

Well, if you're using software to animate for you, that wouldn't make you an animator, would it?
Furthermore, the FIRST animation competition is based around 3D Studio MAX. You should actually be using the software upon which the contest is judged. Entries that use Maya or any other software should, in my opinion, be disqualified.
Despite all of that, I still won't believe that producing a high quality result is as easy as you'd like to believe. The animations produced for FIRST are not professional quality -- nor even close in most respects. Produce something that shows these tools in use and then let
others judge the result.
