I forgot to mention that I was testing out a fluorescent light kit in the test with both kids. Though I adjusted for the white balance manually using a color card, I wasn't crazy about the end result.
As you can see the shot is ungraded, just keyed. I was shooting flat, but both the skin color and the green background came out different than my other tests using tungsten shop lights. I think the fluorescent lights add more bright green light to the retro-reflective chromakey systems. I may try a pink filter on the light next time I use them.
The good thing about this test was that I could still pull a good key off of GH2 hacked footage, even when there were problems on set. FYI between FCP X, Premier's Ultrakey, and Primatte, Primatte worked the best for me keying my daughter's hair with the shot I was working with.
