How do pilots always manage to get the nose wheel to land right on the center line ALL THE TIME?

Most people only see airplanes landing while watching TV or a movie. The studio will film about a days worth of landings, and pick the one that looks best for the shot. And usually, the airplane in question is 1/4 mile away (1320 feet) or more, and the 3 to 6 foot distance the nose wheel may be off the center line will be such a small angle that your perspective will make you believe that the plane landed dead center.
