I wasn't sure if Ae's stabilization w= ould be adequate.  As "walking" and not a tripod or even a monopod was= mentioned, I would presume that there'd be some wild fluctuations in regis= tration between shots.  I don't think a tripod would be permitted or p= ractical in a subway station or car, or progressing through a crowd on a si= dewalk or foot bridge.

Thanks for all the input.

Take a regular still cam= , use a dolly or some sort of fixed height rolling thing to affix the camer= a to. Take the shots all in progression so that each frame will be a sequen= tially numbered frame. Walk 5 feet, take another shot, etc. Import the fram= es into AE as an image sequence. Render out the shaky footage. Import that = new rendered movie and apply image stabilization via warp stabilizer.

Do this per shot.

Should be pretty easy, the cumbersome part is shooting it all.
