material needs to be opaque - otherwise you get shades of 'green' or what ever colour you want to chroma-key to.
is why cheap material from spotlight wont work.
If you're shooting indoors, then sheets of colour paper might even do the trick. In general you want to us something that has a surface that is matt and non-textured.
you could adapt curtain material if it has an opaque backing (cheaper stuff tends to have a layer of vinyl or latex adhered to the back - much like cheap table-cloths).
try green or blue - something that you can easily pickup with the software.
when you light you scene, avoid casting strong shadows onto the material - use a lot of diffuse overhead light with careful highlight/lowlight spots on your actors so they have good detail/contrast/colour and the green background is a consistent colour and lightness.
you may need a fair amount of light on your actors/subject as the reflected light from the screeen will colour the rest of the scene
test your setup first before wasting time with your actors and support crew.
you might want to take regular reference shots with colour targets as your shoot progresses so you can fix any colour balance issue resulting from reflected light.
cheers,
Charles.
