We already are doing the card on the floor thing, and it works fine…Just am curious if someone has any nifty tricks on that to add to our arsenal.

We shoot this client the way we shoot for multiple reasons…First being a small budget and small time frame to shoot and edit. We dont have the time to shoot wides and tights per their conflicts, and we dont wanna take the extra time in post either…small as it may be. These are very very cookie cutter.

We shoot with the camera in a vertical portrait position. This allows us to have ample zoom ability. The spots are aired in Standard (budget). Since we shoot them in HD and vertically, once the image is put into a standard def horizontal (landscape) frame, the editor can then just scale up the video without loosing any loss in rez.

The Chroma idea would ultimately just hurt us I would think, we arent shooting in 4:4:4 so for us to basically almost desaturate the image, would hurt the keying ability.

What Im more interested in is if anyone has had issues with this specifically and knows some lighting tricks to help the skin tone in production, and not in post.
