Oh, it wouldn't be *needed*, exactly, but the way I'm imagining it in my head, it would make it easier come editing time. The implied scenario is that the magician (you) sawed the woman in half, then ran off with her legs sans the box to "have your way" so to speak. I'm saying do the scenario, magician saws a woman in half, only you'd switch back in forth between filming the upper half and the lower half. You may have to flip one or the other in editor to make it appear she's actually in two.
Essentially, say its a total of 5 minutes long...1st minute filmed is the sawing, then 2 minutes nothing but upper body, then finally 2 minutes nothing but lower body. Three seperate .wmvs that you'd have to add together in Windows Movie Maker (or the editor of your choice). One of the 2 minute clips, upper or lower, doesn't matter, has to be flipped from left to right. The only complicated part is intercutting it. It can't be back to back, it has to be one inserted into the other at intervals to make the illusion seem somewhat real.
Keeping the sound in synch...now THAT's the confusing part.
But otherwise, yeah, either that or find that editing program. I'm positive that dude, whoever he was, used that really expensive version that they sell at colleges...can't think of the name for it for some reason. It usually goes for $500. Not Vegas, but they're like the direct competitor to what I'm thinking about.

Thanks.
I'd love to do a whole series of them with different models and senarios if I could.

would be great to see just a dedicated footsniffing producer for a change too (one that doesn't succumb to fiscal pressures) like this new producer right here:

Nice site. I hate footjobs or any other weiner but my own in the shot, but it gives me hope.
