Hey Loki, thanks so much hun. I'm thrilled you enjoyed it.
I use Final Cut Express (which I imagine is similar to Vegas).
Overlaying the TV shots was just a matter of scaling down the footage, cropping, centering and tweaking with an effect called a "4 point garbage matte". It took quite a bit of fiddling I have to say.
The MI burning fuse was the hardest and most complicated. It has 4 overlaying shots, one the TV, one the footage, one the burning dot (which I made in Live Type) one the stripe (which is a black clip which I turned white) and then a lot of key framing to make it move. Matching the dot with the moving line and timing it with the wipe transition was the hardest. Hope that answers your questions. If not let me know and I can go into more detail.
