green screen advice please

[Antoine_Fabi]

Hi,

I have to shoot some interviews with green screen.
The keying will be done by another people from DVC Pro 50 tape.

I would apreciate your advice on 3 points:

1) the lighting level of the green screen (in ire if possible)
2) HVX best settings for easy keying 720p or 480p ? (the delivery format before keying is DVC Pro 50 480p with pulldown added.
3) Detail settings ?

thanks

If they are pulling the key from DVCPRO-50, then shoot DVCPRO-50.
If the final output is DVCPRO-50, but they can pull the key from something HD, then shoot and key in HD and downconvert to SD later.

Definately dvc50 or HD due to the 4.2.2 color space.

I would shoot 1080/30p, get as much resolution in there as possible

Or 1080/24p; same resolution. Depends on what the frame rate of the entire project will be, though.
