Cool, LOL.

But for the matrix they actually had like a ton of cameras set up for the 360 scenes.

Yeah, if they practiced a bit more and stayed in front of the black background, some tweaks would make it much more convincing... Really cool stuff :headbang:

Basically darken the imag euntill they are no longer visible at all. Save. Then use video filters to return it to being normal color. But, the other one would have been dark enough to lose the black suit guys all together, and you can't bring back what isn't there.
