If you ever need a tool that quickly removes any marker from a greenscreen or any backdrop, the MarkerRemoval node is very handy.
The drawback is the time consuming process the footage when removing the markers so make sure to render out your clean plate when done removing all the markers.
A quick sample script that I created to demonstrate the effect. This script is fully created in Nuke so there is no actual live action plate to practice on. Hollywood Camera Work is a good site to download practice footages if you ever need one.
