Interviewing your self at DVinfo.net

It shouldn't be too hard to do the old "over the shoulder" camera view with your self as the "shoulder" as well as the interviewee right? I may have to try this. A simple overly/composite with a basic, feathered mask. Even a little blur to suggest DOF for the shoulder in the extreme background.
Anyone done this before and maybe have a link to a sample of how it turned out?

Do you mean you'll overlay the shoulder in post? nice idea, I hadn't thought of that...

Um, I think you also mean extreme *foreground* for the shoulder? :-)
