GREEN SCREEN!

[maSkraP]

Do you have experience in using a green screen?
I'm shopping around for one... was just curious if any of have a good one for the buck.
I can get green paper and paste it on my wall (lol... ghetto)... but I wanted to see if there are cost effective ones that is well... less ghetto!

You can make a cheap/decent one by going to a material store and buying a large green sheet.

You mean like fabric? Yeah, I was considering that... what kind of fabric is best?

Over here we have shops where you can go into like a material/fabric store and they have massive rolls of sheets and you take the roll to the service desk and they cut how ever much you want and you pay per meter..

(obviously these aren't green, but you get the idea)

otherwise even green bed sheets would work fine.

On another note, it's not always about the type of green screen, it's more about the lighting when recording that gives the best quality

Lighting... good point. Geez, too many things to buy. So little money. xD!

Try ebay, i got my green screen last year on it for only 70ish $ and it was 12x12 and came with 3 lights and umbrellas with stands. Ebay usually has great kits for starter green screens. Just remember you should get lights for your greenscreen also or else the greenscreen pretty much becomes pointless and the footage you shoot just looks bad. :/
