Flag in head Can't Post

I had someone filming for me this past weekend and they didn't watch for background composition. In an interview the person has a flag pole coming out of their head and a nice flag on the top of it! The flag is against a white wall indoors.

The person interviewed doesn't move and is just standing there.

I'm trying to figure out a way to cut out that flag. If it was photo shop it would be simple but I'm not sure how I can mask that out or perhaps I could blur it? Any ideas?

Thanks... Gary

Hi Gary,

Sure, you could mask it, blur it, the sky's the limit. Do you have a frame grab? Might help with suggestions.

I once had a fly walking all over a ministers face during his gospel. I wanted to leave it in, but it drove me nuts. I can't for the life of me understand how it didn't bother him. I kept waiting for it to walk in his mouth so he could swallow it and get it over with. Anyway, I used a matte of a "fly-less" portion of his face with heavy feathering to mask it out. I tested it out on my wife, and she didn't notice until I showed here the before. Then she went batty when she saw the end result again, because if you know where to look, you can faintly see this skin crawling around his face. Like something out of Aliens.
