What are the best settings to get the most detail out of the HVX for keying a greenscreen? Plain and simple if I want the most post production possibilties, what are the best settings? I've been told turn the detail up, and turn it down. I've been told to play with the master ped. I want to end up with a great key, and I want to have a lot of options for post coloring. It's for some commercial work, so it has to be good and I don't have enough of the lighting equipment to do it all the right way. I have 3 - 1k w/softbox, 1-650W w/softbox I have 2-1k HMI with softbox. Tips and settings is what I'm looking for! Thanks!
 
The best is to shoot 1080/24pA or 1080/30p (but not 1080/60i). Search for Jim Arthurs' posts on getting great bluescreen/greenscreen for an HVX, he gives lots of good advice.
 
OK I've got a basic Idea of what to do for that, but I'm still worried about keying it. Mainly because we will be putting the blue/greenscreen outside a window and I'm worried about keying a believable reflection of the person in the window. I hate dealing with reflections anyway, but now I have to have a reflection that is in front of a green/bluescreen!

Apparently I'll be spending a lot of time in post!
 
You might want to add the reflection in digitally, rather than trying to work around it. What keying software are you using?
 
Yea you can use polerizer filter to take away the window reflection (but i have hot tried how it works in greenscreen situations), and ad the reflection in post. If you have a polerizer then shoot some takes with it and some with out. Always nice with some options in post.
