Hi,
I wish you the best of luck with your quest to find good and cheap software. For the particles, I used a software called ParticleIllusion SE on the Mac. You can also get it on Windows.
The best greenscreening that I have seen so far running on my computer is Chromanator. This is because it is optimised to remove bleeding edges from MiniDV recordings. It works particularly well on green color. Apparently, all DV cameras pick up green particularly well. That's why.
Whatever you do with your camera... make sure that you get one on which you can put a wide angle lens on top. I just got my lens today and I have to say that it is absolutely AWESOME. I literally get 40% more on the left and the right with a minimum of distortion.
Kind regards
