Masking a character to look like it's coming our of a TV

[NealF2]

Hi.

I've got a flat screen TV shown from the side so that all you see of it is a thin vertical rectangle which is the side of the screen.
I'm trying to get a TV anchorman to come out of the screen. So basically, he needs to be invisible in the back of the TV and appear as he comes out. I was hoping there's just a way to add an invisible shape in the back of the TV that would hide the anchorman.

I looked at lots of tutorials but didn't find anything that fits exactly this problem.
Any "simple" help is appreciated. so far masking is one of the more complex parts of Moho for me.

Thanks.

I just got it working - with a little elbow greese.

I used this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjdB0AiV
I tried it yesterday but it would mask something but not all of the character.

Then I tried "add to mask" on all the layers of the character and it worked!

I need more understanding, even though it now works. Thanks for the link hayasidist. I'll be checking that out
