Green Screen for HMC - Tungsten or Daylight?

[Exact]

Does any one know if the HMC would be better with Daylight or Tungsten for green screen work?

I've always shoot my Green screen work as Tungsten. Not sure if that would change any with the HMC-150.

I turn on Tungsten for the camera, but I use daylight for the lights hitting the greenscreen, since blue is closer to green on the color spectrum than orange, it makes keying easier.

Did you mean tungsten for the subject rather than the camera?

 

[Blade Borge]

I mean the camera's white balance is set to tungsten. Then use tungsten lights for the subject and daylight for the greenscreen.

Silicon based sensors are always insensitive to blue so use as much blue light as you can by shooting daylight balanced whenever possible, at least on the screen.

Thanks - that's what I thought you meant... daylight on the background, tungsten on the subject (camera set for the subject - i.e. tungsten).

That's brillaint! Why have I never thought of that before!

That does sound like an interesting technique. Do you have any pre-keyed stills using it?

Wouldn't that just make the screen appear cyan to the camera?
