How did they fake this?

New thread about what Mark posted elsewhere...how did they fake this?

You can do it in adobe premiere with what's called a mask - the flying man is created elsewhere against a single colour background, and then placed over the top of the original video. The single colour is deleted on the run to let the background show through.

The jumper is two people, number one never makes it up the ramp, and number two is already in the pool.

Impressive though!

It's a three stage stunt....no green screen or compositing involved though.....just a dummy and some slick editing.
