Far away as you can get them. I did my first handful of commercial additions in front of a green screen and it's really tough to get rid of the spill when your subject isn't really far away from the scren.


Blast the screen until it's even. Use the Zebra function in your camera to make sure that you've got flat lighting then use other lights to model your subject. Which is another good reason to be as far away as possible.

I don't want to imagine the pains that the Sin City post crew went through. The overhead/aerial shots must've been a serious bish to light for.
