Here's a short masking test I've done today. I thought that I should take a step back, and try few more tests and animation challenge entries. You may also recognize that this test is a bit from UniLego's masking test. 
Also, special thanks to JTProductions121, for the tutorial - I already knew how to mask, but that tutorial was a bit more clear to me. Thanks for watching & reading! Hope to see some responses!

I noticed some rough edges on the leg when I paused it. I came up with a way that gives it smooth edges. I call it Double Rigging.
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.
