To reflect the abstract and disjunctive nature of the reality we are trying to portray in our music video, one of the scenes we wanted to do was where the antagonist would suddenly disappear. We decided to do this across a road when a car drives pass, to give some concealment of the figure. Through the help of the media technician we managed to do this by first importing both clips (one with the figure and car, and one without) into Photoshop CS3 and used a corner pin with transparency to align both pieces of footage exactly. Then we got the first piece of footage and applied a mask that was attached and followed the car as it drove across the screen. This meant as the car went passed it revealed the 2nd image behind it which had no figure in it; giving the impression that he has disappeared.
