Good luck. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
What are you editing on?

Matrox? Avid? I have options of which to use.
Here's a question - The * is the camera. The two + nearest the camera are the actor sitting in a chair. The two + furthest away are the actor standing up behind the front two.
Would this work? Or would the overlapping be a problem?
Also I was told that I couldn't film the floor at any point during this. Or is this wrong?

Wel, with that position I wonder why you'd bother, because now you can't see the people behind it. But when you shoot them seperately with a blue screen you can move both pairs to back or front, whatever you want.
Another thing you might want to take into account is your focus. But maybe you should defocus when necessary in AVID. You can defocus there.
And yes, you can shoot the floor as long as it's not a reflective surface and it has no blue in it. Just make sure you have some light on it, although that may pose problems with the shadows if you want to merge the two shots.
I never worked with Matrox, but I'd go for AVID anyway. What kind of system is it?

I'm not sure what system it is.
Queeq that was just an example to see if it's possible to overlap people i.e one person sitting and another standing or walking behind.

You can do it, KJ. Just use the layering on AVID. You can stack several layers on top of each other. The trick is to have the background shot (which is also layered on AVID) mix on both shots. I've never done that myself, but it must be possibe I think. I can check tomorrow if you want me to, I'll just ask my editor.

Ah good, he's out at the moment, but I'll see him in an hour or so.
Hang on.

Okay, I checked. Yes it is possible.
You can either do it by keying or better yet, use a mask for the actor-behind- shot. There's a tool on AVID that you can make all the blue white and then you can make it work. But get yourself a good an experienced editor, or you'll be screwing around a long time.
But it still takes quite a bit of work.
If you want to make it easier on yourself: shoot it in a room and edit it as split screen. But that means the actor cannot step into the side of the "other actor".
