			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I came up with a way to get smooth masking with realistic shadows. I call it Double Rigging.
[quote=I]To do it, you take the usual rig-on-the-bottom frame first. In the next frame, have a rig supporting it from the top. Make sure the object you want floating is in the same place in both frames. Then, mask out the rig in the first frame using the second frame as the backround plate. The result is smooth masking with realistic shadows.
[/quote]This takes much less time to do than the single rigging.]]></content>

The edges aren't perfect but is anyone perfect? No and it's barely noticeable. :)
And as you pointed out, the bricks need shadows

This  took me half an hour to do and still it's not perfect. (the floating bricks don't have shadows) And for an upcoming movie masking will be needed a lot. If you see anymore flaws with the picture please say so.]]></content>
