This is my first music video ever, if you wanna get to the core of the video start it at :30. Let me know what you think. I directed and edited. I put up the rough draft for your viewings.

P.S. for some reason the syncing is off in the uploaded clip
 
I'd say yes. The driving parts looked like they were out of an SNL sketch. Sometimes you just didn't need it, like when she steps out of the car and gets back in. The wide shots of the car with the green screen were pretty bad as well. The closer shots of her weren't as big of a problem.
 
the background you keyed in doesnt move with the pan of the camera.....and the lighting on the car is green, relecting off the green screen...I dont think it works too well, keep at it.
 
Thanks guys. I saw the reflection in post, which sucked. We got rained out the day of the shoot, so thats why we used the greenscreen. Again thanks for the replys I can't wait for my next video...without a greenscreen. lol
 
you can fix all that in post. you can remove the green spill on the door.
i thought some of it looked really cool, like purposely bad like some videos I see on MTV now a days!:Drogar-Love(DBG):
see the thing is.... for green screen it really depends on how it was shot. you don't want to shoot green screen in nothing less than 4:2:2 color system and also what you edit in. because some NLE software handles keying better. I'm not going to mention any names right now but......
Also you can keyframe-create interesting camera moves in post, even some that hide a lot of stuff. I would take all the footage and start a new edit. but de-interlace it before you put it up. the field lines are so anoying :)
