Basic Greenscreen/Setting Question

Hello there,
I just shot a little comedy sketch infront of a greenscreen to create a "talk show" look. This is only the second thing I've shot on greenscreen so bare with me I am learning.

I would like advice as to what the best settings are to shoot in (24p, 30p, does shutter matter? if so, what should it be on)

Also a HUGE question is, I have glass bottles in the shot and when I keyed everything out and placed my background those bottles are now fuzzy and "blinking?" i guess you could say. Are there any filters or anything I can place to prevent this, but still have the TALENT keyed out just as good?

BTW I am using FCP, and DVX100b. I read up about lighting and such so I'm good on that, mostly the post prod is what I'm worried about. Is after effects a better choice?

Thank you so much for your time and help, I'm very grateful!

Hi Kate,

I have shot 24p with a shutter of 1/48 with excellent results. I have found that Glass & or shinney items sometimes don't key well as they can cast reflections and see through points of the screen.

After effects with the plug in keylight is by far the better option as appossed to the built in keyer of any NLE. (little pricey though).


With proper lighting and minimizing the reflections of the glass, After Effects with keylight can do a really good job at cleaning it up.
