Multiple Images of Actor

Hi folks,

It's pretty easy to have two versions of an actor talking to herself, etc.
The technique is based on shooting the actor twice in the same setup,
and compositing two halves of the screen together with a feathered
transition mid-screen.

I'm wondering how to have *multiple* images of an actor in a scene,
you know, different distances, overlap. etc.

Any thoughts? Am I going to have to rotoscope the whole thing?
Inspirations?

Thanks for your time, video geeks!

shoot them against a green screen and comp them together.

That would work OK, but I would really like to get the lighting and shadows
from the shooting environment, so I'd like to be able to do this on location.

Any other suggestions?
 
Take a portable green or blue screen and shoot the actor on the set. With some care you will get good results. The main thing is to plan your lighting beforehand and shoot on HD resolution if at all possible.
