Green screen + lighting practice

I tried to greenscreen my friend and make his model react to the light points. Is it okay or I should change smth?

It looks great ! how do you relight the photo ? did you make a normal map or something ?
I think the only missing bits could be a shadow from the character to the ground. Maybe it’s possible to generate a dirty placeholder since you have the alpha of the character ?

IDK how it’s done nowadays but a few years ago we would model a rough mesh for the character and hand animate it to match the motion. Then this would be used to create shadows, reflections, and all interaction with CG basically …
