Oh that's brilliant. Still gonna hope for an official patch though. The snow/particle/confetti thing is a problem.

It's not perfect so I assume it's some kind of program they're using...or something?

Hmm...This is just me, and I have no clear proof of it, but what I think they do is modify the game (hackers lol), edit it so the background will be blue/green/etc, record whatever they need for a MAD, and apply the same techniques used when using a green screen. Again, I dunno if they do this, but it's possible.

Woohoo, I was a little bit right! *clueless about video editing stuff*
I think it led to a pretty impressive end result given what the original source was, but I guess in the end "if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself"...*crosses fingers for a free iM@S MAD pack*
...I still think it's just so weird that L4U had all of that MAD-making stuff built into it, and yet they took all of it out in iM@S2 :s

I think if they just did the blue/green screen method, they wouldn't have the problems you see in that video (i.e. pieces of the idols themselves disappearing from time to time, not related to stage-effects falling from the sky).
Plus, I think the edges of the extracted idols would be more clear if they had the blank backgrounds; some of the L4U MADs are pretty high quality XD

You mean something like this?

I'm thinking they're using some video editing software and removed the background.
Cael K.:
Okay, I've had this up for like a month, but never finished it. Well, whatever - this questionnaire closes in like four or five days, so I should probably finish it.
