I recently shot some green screen footage using two hacked GH1's (GH13, GH17) with my young and talented Promo Pathway students. I thought this would be a great opportunity to try out the new MJPEG HD 1280x720 YCC 4:2:2 settings. The fact that these little cameras can shoot 4:2:2 without the need of an HDMI capture card, is rather mind blowing.

I am very happy with the results, even though it did require some serious garbage matting and rotoscoping. Unfortunately, as with most chromakeying, it is never just a one click proposition.
