    The production company has a forth-coming project where the creative requires a presenter walking towards the camera whilst 3D graphics are going to be composited either side. The technique we thought of was to go for a treadmill and film the presenter walking on that facing the camera. The thing is if the shoot was a static presenter with a green screen it would be alot easier but with the introduction of a treadmill it gets a little bit more tricky. The kind of style would be the same kind of thing that the ‘Amarillo’ music video that Peter Kay did is what we are after.
    Any comment or thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    I’d think the Green Screen would work best. Otherwise the walls and everything in the screen are static and the effect is lost some.

    You’ll want to remove the upper part of the tread mill to make it easier for keying.
