Boom Mic in shot

Yes, I have done the unforgiveable. Any idea's on how to remove a boom mic out of a shot. Its dead center. The interviewer is to the left of it and the interviewee is to the right. Both the mic and the background are both dark grey. Some kind of blending tool?Thanks

If you can't get it, post up a reference pic & we'll take a closer look.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

lol. Would be funky if you mosaic the damned thing! then it'd look like porn! Juz kiddin'. Dark grey... That's sweet- you could blur it then, do a power window on it to bring down the blacks together with the background to musk it properly.

Nattress and CHV both have cloning/repair filters that borrow pixels from a "good" area to mask out the "bad". And if your shot is locked down, and that background behind the boom mic is uniform, it's very easy to do without a filter by duplicating the shot to V2, moving it so a smooth part of the background sits where the boom is, then masking it off with feathering to hide the boom.
