I know some teams have done this in the past.. and even those who haven't, if you know something that might be useful feel free to post it. Thanks!
Lock the camera. If the camera is stationary, it'll be far easier for you to put in animation that appears to fit. If the camera moves and the lighting and perspective changes, animated things will look very, very bad unless you're an utterly incredible animator.

Things like blue screen or green screen are used to put live-action actors into a computer generated world. Putting computer generated characters into a live-action world is easier -- and has been done to some extent or another through traditional animation for about 80 years.

Notable films include Walt Disney's early Alice films, Mary Poppins, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and Jurassic Park.

The recently released Collector's Edition of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? has a pretty good documentary and the process and challenge of integrating animation into live-action and even making it look three-dimensional. If you don't own, I'd suggest getting your hands on a copy and watching that.
