You can also animate the edge setting on CC Light Sweep to simulate a light source moving over or near your talent. Just set up three Edge Intensity keyframes, where the stop and the start keyframes are the same. At the point where the light source would be "over" or "near" the green screen actor, increase the Edge Intensity. This will brighten the edges of the actor just as the virtual light source passes by. You can also heighten the illusion by adding in a glow and adjust its intensity along with the CC Light Sweep intensity.
