I've done it anyway, using clear bricks to hold it up instead of masking. However, I am still interested in hearing your ideas.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[If you can, talk to mobdeli. One great suggestion is that you don't always have to take a picture without the minifig (or object). As long as it doesn't appear under what you are masking out you can use then second picture with the minifig still in it. Plus, the lighting stays the same. Did you understand that?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hi guys! :) 

Okay, I'm having a problem with masking a flying block of Lego. 

When I add the Lego piece to the scene, the lighting increases due to the reflective surface of the piece. As such, when I take a background shot to place under the frame for masking, the area where i removed the stand holding up the Lego block is always darker than the rest of the picture. 
It looks like masking is unable to help, so I'm wondering is there any know substitute to masking?

Thanks guys! :)]]></content>
