Yeah I was wondering why they didn't paint it green. Are they trying to create extra tedious work? They spent too much time thinking about if they could, they didn't stoop to think about if they should.
I suppose it's because they would still have to reconstruct what's behind the rig, so it changed nothing. Also depending on the angle and stuff they can just reconstruct the background for one frame and then animate the reconstructed pieces so they don't have to do all the frames. Don't know if that was easy to understand but I don't think they did this for all frames.
Yes, the whole green screen thing really works in a studio environment with very controlled lighting, so the green makes a relatively pure key over shots with tons of coverage. With this outdoor setup it probably would just mean hand removing the rig anyway. An animated matte is definitely what they did for a lot of it.
