Default Green screen and hd footage

I would like to do an interview of a client from the waist up and on a square or rectangle show previous commercials of the client. He would actually be sitting in front of a green screen. I would use Lightwave to run the old commercials.

Anyway I am not sure if this is the best way to do this - but It has been a long time since I have integrated a film sequence into a square or rectangle in Lightwave. Just wondering if anyone else can recommend a tutorial.

(even having a scene in lightwave, having a tv.lwo and replacing the screen with live footage would help as a tutorial.)

thanks

You probably should do it in a compositing app, you'll have better control. However; if you insist on doing it in LW, you can load the background animation in LW in the image editor then go to backdrop and load it in the compositing tab. the put your actor on a poly and using the clipmask and render that out together.
