Simple masking. I can teach you how to do so if you'd like.

Yeah, please do! I think I have a general idea, but I'd like to hear it from another person.

thats one of the easier effects as long as you have software with good masking stuff, (after effects) you can do cloning in premier/final cut as well easily but its not as precise as that

That's pretty poor. I've done MUCH better myself.

I'm going to write an After Effects tutorial about more complex cloning soon - hopefully tonight, with any luck.

good idea, poor masking. Or at least good idea if there were some sort of interaction between them....what's the second guy doing there anyway?

apparently, Morpheus has put on some weight and likes hanging out with balding guys.

But really, when someone uses an effect like that, the "Clone" is usually the persons concience, so the shorter guy probably just lied to the taller guy, and his concience showed up and told him not to lie to that guy, because it doesn't look like he could win in any kind of fight against him.

Anyone can do this with enough patience. 75% of the work with VFX is patience rather than expertise. Turned out pretty nice in the end.

Apologies for the aural strain, but I still believe this to be a classic bit of masking:
