GREAT tips for shooting a good blue/greenscreen
General Specialist - Tips, Tricks and Tinkerings: Greenscreen and Bluescreen Checklist
An extensive list of tips and guidelines for a successful greenscreen shoot - everything from camera settings (turn down/off that sharpening!), the benefits of 4:4:4 over 4:2:2 over 4:1:1, lighting, blue vs. green, standoff distances, masking, tracker markers, etc.
If you have a greenscreen shoot and aren't an expert, a really nice read.
Thanks to Jonas (the writer) for sending in the link.
If you find something on the web that you think I might not know of or find that will be of interest to the readership here, always feel free to drop me an email at mike at hdforindies d0t com.

Hey, those are great!
I even validated some of my own discoveries I've experimented with - like shooting vertically with an anamorphic camera when you have a standing shot.
Wish I wasn't limited to DV at the moment...

I'll add an hdforindies exclusive add-on tip:
beige is green. Doesn't seem like it's green to your eye... but once you start keying... surprise!

quick addendum to say it CONTAINS a lot of green meaning i absorbs green very very quickly and will then key out in place very fast. unlike colors based on red and blue for example.

That sounds like one of those hard earned lessons - like pointing at your own neck and saying
"See this scar here? That's why I don't do that anymore."
