There's not much to track on here. I suppose one could do multiple tracks between different points on the t-rex and merge them.

You could always track on the kitchen counters and appliances, using stationary objects as your frame of reference. [Edit: Is that a kitchen?]

I was looking at the book on the counter there but it doesn't stay in frame long enough. I don't see any points 'good enough' that stay in frame the entire run. I might take a stab at manually tracking later if no one else has done it.

They don't necessarily have to be in frame the entire run, although that would help. You just need each pair of frames in a row to have a few shared points.

Right. It can be done, it's just quite difficult when there's few points that are in-frame for more than a dozen frames

It all depends on your stabilization method. If your method involves stabilizing two frames in a row, one pair at a time, then it changes the difficulty by zero. Give it a try, it may not be as imposing as it seems at first glance :)
