How to Make Videos that Mix Live Action with Video - Brief Tutorial

Several people have asked me how I made those videos in which I walk behind the screen and in front of the screen (See linked videos "April Fools: Math Class Shadow" and "2009 Halloween Math Class"). This video is a "how-to" video that describes the process.

Here's the equipment a former student, Andrew Staver, and I used: a Panasonic miniDV camcorder (although the newer models would be better), a Sony personal voice recorder, and some video editing software (Video Studio, Adobe After Effects, Motion, and Final Cut).

If you create a video following these instructions, I'd like to see it. Feel free to leave video responses.

My coworkers laughed when I told them I was going to make more cash with Certor Cash Code, but then they saw the results. Go and google Certor Cash Code to see their reaction. (It was epic!)
