1) Setup a tripod
2) Postion the shot so that you are in the left 50%, and the other person in the right 50% (or vice versa)
2b) It doesn't have to be 50%, but MAKE SURE YOU DON'T MOVE PAST THE DESIGNATED AREA
3) Film, after a few seconds walk out of frame. The other guy acts as normal

In post split the screen into two along the 50% line. Add the right to one layer, the left to another. Cut the bit where you walk away from the "right" shot, insert a cross fade on the cut and bob's your uncle.
