shooting right is a given.  I'm working on several green screen projects =
right now and the last thing I have time to deal with is cleaning up =
keying problems. so yes I got the light meter out and balanced light =
levels out across the screen and interview spot.... and you don't have =
to fly a shooter out. thats a real attitude I have to battle all the =
time. there are local qualified DP's & crew, you have to know them :)
