Double Trouble

Just a quick and basic test of using a matte to get myself on screen twice at once. We'll be using this effect soon in a short comedy about time travel called Bob Time. I feathered the edge of the matte to keep it from being too harsh. I think I can see some blurring along the line of the matte, but it's not too obvious.
