Yes, I have a Sony D50 which I am bringing which has a traditional tripod mount so that should work excellently. > They didn't > have a green screen available, but gave me a phone number of a small > company who owns one.

My impression is that the larger, the better but 2x2M should be sufficient. The reason a larger screen is better is that one wants to try to avoid casting any shadows on the screen when standing in front of it. That generally means standing quite a bit in front of it. I'm going to go ahead and bring my green screen so don't worry about it. I am about to catch my plane to Madrid. Please do keep us posted on a stage/lighting situation, though! Thank you!
