C300 & Green Screen

The last time I shot a green screen with my C300, I was having trouble getting my green screen to actually look green on the screen. It looked more aqua or teal. I tried a few picture profiles. I settled on OFF. I ended up lighting the screen tungsten and the subjects daylight (weird, but it worked). Is this some sort of problem with Canons? Maybe its my particular green screen (sort of a fuzzy latex material)? I have another green screen shoot this week and I'm wondering if I should just bring my EX3 instead, but I want to give the client the better recording quality. :(

Interesting. Did you use an external monitor with the flip out screen?

I have had experiences where the green looks a little off(slightly toward blue/real) but the flesh tones were spot on. Went with it and it turned out fine. External monitor was more green than camera screen.

WoodenCamera just launched a new website and one of their landing page photos is a green screen shoot. And the camera's screen shows a very non green image.

That's obviously not a technical comment. But the content is timely.
