The cereal-boxes in the film are to have a guy advertising on the front of it (as previously discussed and designed here: http://lj-dfga.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/cereal-box.html). This is going to be the same guy, but on different boxes. As Luca and Tom were location scouting, I offered to do the green-screen for this with Ryan who kindly acted for us (again) and needed the green-screen for his own project.
It was a simple set up, by facing the pop-up green screen at the window we were able to use natural light which provided a relatively even light. As the shots are going to be heavily edited to create a 'hologram' effect, the main concern was for the green-screen to work, the overall quality of the shot (this was not shot in RAW) hopefully won't be noticeable.
To record audio we used a rode mic, which has seemingly worked alright and keeps with the performance. Doing it this way allowed it to be done quickly and without much hassle. This was enjoyable to shoot and saw the first real use of dialogue (not including 'voice-overs') in the film. We had a little time to play with performance and ham it up, as he's a seedy salesman.
The flat light made keying out the green-screen very easy in After Effects, so I am confident the footage will be easy to use in the final shot.
