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.

@iL0v3M0nkeys Not having enough money shouldn't stop you, there should always be people from who you could lend equipment, i do the same.

Dude....... I mean, Sir..... I MUST GO THERE!

I was inspired to make awesome videos. Then I realized "I don't have that kind of money" :(

I hope to make videos later in life though. I have too much ahead of me, but first, I need to finish reading Flatland for Geometry class by tomorrow.
