ideas for music video edit in Vegas like this Sade

hi -

I'm working on making a video in my home greenscreen studio (it's good with multiple softboxes, 12' greenscreen) to be edited in Vegas (using AE keylight to key), designed to use this type of effect from a Sade concert ('smooth operator' video live concert) of me playing sax like this (but for a different song I have clearance for):

using artbeats Vegas at night panning footage in background...

any tips for shooting it well? I'll either hire a local videographer to come to do a 2-cam shoot w/panning, or maybe go rent space at a studio w/proper large greenscreen bgrd/curved wall

hi Grazie... just wondering if any tips in general for a good shoot, beyond basics (lighting!)... I've never done a music vid, was going to use a clip-on lav mic + camcorder, then do AE keylight to get alpha-mat source, ingest in Vegas and edit...

As with any greenscreen, make sure your greenscreen background is smooth and evenly-lit and then make sure your foreground actors are lit well and separate from the background.

And, of course, make sure none of your actors are wearing green.

The background in this video is pretty active. But other than that, it's actually a pretty basic greenscreen video.
