i am trying to film an actor on a green screen...including the floor...and am having trouble eliminating the shadows from between his feet...any suggestions an/or links to lighting diagrams...i have 4-5 lights...some nice studio lights, some work lights (halogens)...

thanks
 
Re: lighting for green screen, with floor

You're probably never going to get it perfect, especially with the person contacting the ground. Additional lights will probably create multiple shadows unless you go with a very softlight. Then you're probably not matching the backgroudn plate lighting on your actor. In production work this type of area is rotoscoped (traced) to remove it in the matte.
 
Re: lighting for green screen, with floor

What software are you using? There are some better than others at cleaning up variations in green. I have a client who uses After Effects and we had a person laying on green and he was able to clean up the variations in green levels quite well. It takes some time to tweak that sort of problem.
