Interactive Green screen shoot

hope this isn't too OT.

I have a shoot coming up where I'll have the talent in front of a green screen and he will have to see himself against the BG that will actually appear on the video, so he can interact with stuff on the BG.

What's the best (low budget) way to do this?

Totally agreed: Serious Magic Ultra

When I lecture on greenscreen production that's the program I use.
On the "Input" button there is a "Live Input" (or something like that) selection.
It's extremely easy to do.

I have used Ultra2 on my last 2 productions with excellent results.
The last one was for a musical instrument distributor and i had my talent be all 4 members of a Rock Band, simultaneously, playing at Stone Henge. It looks great and was a helluva lotta fun to do.

It was all shot on a 12' x 24' portable green screen.
