For those of you who have been to the football games, you have seen the "intro" videos that have a famous movie and they insert the wolf into it or the other mascot.
How do they do this? Could you use the same effect to insert yourself into the movie? Do they use a certain software or what? I was just wondering how difficult it was..it looks time consuming.
For example they had Top Gun and they had the wolf in the cockpit flying and the eagle below the jet.

prob something like Final Cut, that's what we work with

For example...they had the topgun scene where it shows Tom Cruise in the cockpit...except they had edited it and put Mr. Wuf in the cockpit instead.
I guess it is the same thing they do to put the "King" from Burger King in the NFL commercials...
any free software available or any software I can buy?
