There's a neat photoshop trick for still photos; it combines multiple photos 
of the same scene and removes anything not in each image. The net result is 
that moving objects are automatically removed from the final image. I've 
seen one of the fountains in Rome with crowds of people milling about, and 
in the final shot, all of the people have been removed.
