Please help,

Masking. Though it takes a lot of work. Correct me if I'm wrong in anyway.

I'm pretty sure its not making.
I think it's rotoscoping. Where footage is pasted over other footage (spinning knife over pan shot of wall) But he adds fancy motion blur and stuff.

Thats cool but is there any certain program to do this in?
Sony vegas, Debugmode wax, Apple final cut, Adobe After effects.
Wax is free.
You can do it in pretty much any editing program as long as you have an image editor.
All you need to do is take a separate image of the knife and cut it out in, say, GIMP.
Then, save the picture with transparency and bring it into your editor.
After that, all you have to do is animate the knifes position, scale and rotation.
Thanks
This is quite easy to pull off in after effects i did a simmilar shot in my most recent film, done deal. All i did was take a picture of a brick arms machete key out the green, make it top layer over a background, add some key frames and your done.
I think this thread's been dead for quite some time now.
You should check the date the most recent reply to make sure it's worth your post.
