Killing off the foreigner

So I've been getting into more movie special effects lately, and I thought I would show off a recent creation I have made, featuring fellow school mate, and foreign exchange student, Nicolai.

      Problem with that is that I haven't figured how to animate the mask. We recorded him in from of a really crappy set up green screen. I was able to take out the green and make it transparent. The dark area around him are the shadows left over. I created a mask around him so that everything outside the mask gets cut out. The dark area is basically a little bubble where ever he moves, since I don't know how to animate the mast so it goes just around his body throughout the timeline.

    oh, maybe if you make an unnoticeable outline around him, maybe the rest will stay?
