The methods that explain James there are:

• Simple Masking: It’s a tedious technique but is good for short clips.
• Rotoscoping: With CS5 It’s a nice technique, but you will need a good Hardware for medium-large clips
• Difference Matting: Good technique but you can find a good place to shot and control the Matte effects
• Chroma Keying: I love this technique, although you will be more accurate than others is really amazing. Light is the Key, you get it?
• Camera Technique: This is really powerfull with a good use of the Tracker and Stabilize Motion.
