    A little bit of confusion from 5:49, he was talking about using a placeholder and in the video there was a subject. It looked like there had to be another clip there but was skipped.

    Very good video. I hope you'll give later some examples (and tips) for music video applications, when you have to frame a whole body standing and moving (or dancing) in front of a green fabric. Thank you!! :)

    Excellent walkthru. Showing both the on-set and post sides is very helpful.

    Thanks for the information, I will give all of those things a try. What type of camera system would be best for green screen? If I have a big project come up I'd like to rent a camera that can produce easily key-able footage so I don't have to spend a lot of time trying to pull a good key.

    thanks.. but how would you deal with the feet area, there wont be any distance there, causes me some trouble there, and to get rid of all shadows in that area is kind of dificult.. should i trust my software there?

    Footage might be too compressed. Can try using an external recorder and go to less compressed codec. Check menu settings and make sure you are recording at highest quality. Can also try lowering frame rate to 24.

    Also, try color correcting first and boost vibrance or saturation prior to key.

    Use a curved cyc wall, or have them stand on fabric. You'll also need more light to fill in the shot.

    I have an issue with keying I hope you can help me with. I shoot on a 60D and edit in After Effects. I light the same way you did in the video, and don't see any spill on my subject. When I go to key the footage I lose lots of skin tone and hair color information, and I have to roll the white clip back to about 60 to get a good matte. I tried the green channel blur but it blurs the entire image. The only way I have been able to get a good key is to use an alpha matte. Any suggestions?
