First, might be great to edit your advert to include WHAT you are shooting.
Products?
Music Video?
Actors ina short?

SONY. sigh.. well we all know the SxS LongGOP codec is very tough to key. (20-1 Compression.) so its cool you are capturing off the HD-SDI, that is ideal.

basic stuff, obviously make sure the green screen is evenly lit and without wrinkles/seams. 101 stuff. use light or dark green markers. (not blue)
not sure what you are shooting, but I like to establish paralax with mic stands and pink sticky notes and REALLY make sure to watch for "spill" on subjects. be it product or talent. Especially with a tracking shot.

IF you take extra time to set the shots up corectly, you should pull a pretty clean key. Also helps to have some plug-ins.

you might also want to talk about your post workflow.

good luck!
