Ipod Commercials...

i was wondering on how they make those ipod commercials. i the first ones seem pretty simple to make....have one person dress up in dark colors and use final cut's color correction tool to change that person to completely black or use shake to completely change a person to a black figure...and then use a green screen to have a solid background
but for the eminem apple ad (which is a good one in technical terms), how do they do that...obviously in a green screen, but how do they get it to that styling? the colors and stuff....

analyzing it in final cut 5, i noticed that there were at least two repeating frames whever there is a quick camera transition (the guy pushes the camera, eminem explodes into paint dubs, etc...)

any idea on what tools and techniques people can use to recreate such an effect...?

Their commercials are definitely genius.

My guess is they have 10000 monkeys masking frame by frame and editing from there.
Non-educated guess, of course.

When I follow your link, travisimo, it takes me to an article from March 16th. Doesn't talk about the posters question. Maybe I'm missing something.
