Use a green (or blue) backdrop. easy.

What editing package/vision mixer/camera will she be using to create the chroma key? Generally any large expanse of green cloth should be ok. Professionally a type of green baize or felt is used. I have tried this to quite a good effect, however the lighting is very important too to complete the effect.

The important thing is to get an even light on the green cloth. Make sure the subject is separated enough from the backdrop to not cast any shadows on it. If it's a person you will need quite a big area!
