Video Editing

Wasn’t sure which forum this should be in, but here goes. Some of you might have seen www.comeclean.com featured on FWA yesterday. I have just started to consider the possibility of using video in my designs, after seeing some very cool websites. However, I have no experience of video editing in this context: I’d like to be able to edit the background out of a video, just as you can extract an object from its background in photoshop. comeclean is an example - nothing other than the hands can be seen in the video… does anyone know how to do this and what software I need? Cheers.

edit: I’m guessing I should use Adobe Premiere, unless anyone has an alternative suggestion? So I’d appreciate it if anyone could point me tutorials to acheive the previously mentioned effect.
