Hey y'all

I recently tracked d= ifferent kind of Iphone and Ipads screen replacements
with differe= nt methods, and cant be sure whats the optimal way of preparing the shoot.

my question is:
do you use green on iphone and i= pads where good reflections are needed to sell the shot?

my considerations are:
on one hand:
with green sticker -> better track and maybe easier roto, but you do have= to remove it
and no reflections.

on the o= ther hand:
without green sticker -> more rotoscoping, sometimes= difficult track, but good reflections.

the way I decided doing it was with no green becau= se mocha can track just with
the shapes and proportions and the gr= een I get usually its just a pain to remove
and although helps me w= ith the track, I do have to remove it and replace it. and
usually it doesn't help me with keying it because the shot is lit for t= he main action
and not the green inside. the problem is I got a sh= ot with bright sun behind
and the track was very hard. a green wou= ld have at least help with the shear shift.

what do you recommend as the best course of action for i= phones and ipads
and GUI screens in general (where you need the re= flections)?

thanks
