shooting green screen from inside a vehicle

[hadden]

Hi,

I'm a film student at UBC and am doing a short which includes several surreal scenes using green screens and a bus. So far those i have talked have rommended placing the screen atleast ten feet away and lighting it equally. However, I am worried about window reflections and spill that might end up on our actor inside the bus. Also we will be shooting with dv.

any suggestions or advice?

How much control do you have on the bus? Can you take the windows out? You could also try using a polarizer to get rid of the reflections. Also, if the screen is far enough away, the spill should be pretty minimal. Just make sure it's evenly lit, and you don't have any other green in the shot other than what you want to key out. Shoot some tests first.
