  1. As noted, set up a simple plane in the background, color it pure green, and render, then composite the background. 2. I tossed Premiere and went to Vegas. I can layer much more efficiently and have an easier interface (but I'm wierd, and do little stuff). Chromakeying out the green is wonderful, and I even get the way the shadows fade without artifacts. 3. Poser might be slow, might be cumbersome, might be a bad idea -- but it takes a lot less time to learn than 3ds max, is easier to use, doesn't require buying a bunch of other plugins, and meets the needs of a hobbyist or small designer who can be just as serious about things as the pros but not nearly as much money. 4. Don't be offended -- I'm crazy. I say things like when other personalities take ov FiVE dot Will RuLE yOU All er and leave me typing into space going what the hell...

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
