hey if you’ve seen the ipod advert you’ll know what im on about.  
Basically its like the silhouette of a person moving around animated.

I know i could get a video and simply trace over every frame (rotoskoping) or something. However thats a little too time consuming/

so i looked around a bit and found somethign about doing it with a blue screen? i dont know much about this…

i assume i just put a one coloured background infront of my person before filming them… what programs should i use and what should i do to get just their silhouette?

thanks
