It's done a lot in movies as you may know. Place a static camera in your room and divide it in two halfs. You first do your 'thing' at the left half of the camera and then another thing at the right half of the camera.

Now you got two different takes of both halfs, now cut the takes in half and 'glue' the halfs where you were on together.

Or something like that.

Some of us aren't movie directors or like that.

Ever heard of the blue screen? Now you understand what's he talking about; record yourself in front of a blue wall, preferably intense blue (green works as well), record your room, paste the first vid over, cut the bright color and voila.

Google is your friend, so is youtube. There are a bunch of tutorials on how to make a homemade green screen, and how to use it.

Also, you can just video edit if you have the patience to cut out your figure from each frame.

I was just merely saying what I think he means with "green screen"...

Being interested in video editing, I know a couple ways to do this:

1. Green screen it. But that will limit the interactions you can do.

2. Mask it. You'll need three videos of yourself on the same background with the help of a tripod to steady it. Then use mask tool to cut out videos into any shape you want.
