Cheap Effects

To make someone or something disappear:

1. Record subject. (clip 1)
2. Press pause with the camera locked down on a tripod.
3. Subject leaves scene.
4. Press record. (clip 2)
5. In editing, put a cross dissolve transition between the two clips.

Reverse Direction: Example-

1. Record someone jumping off a table.
2. In editing, reverse the clip direction.
3. The subject will appear to jump up on the table.
