My Green Screen



Weekend I finally got around to making that green screen I mentioned a couple posts back.  It is made completely out of bright green poster board that only cost sixteen dollars in total.  While it is not perfect, its great if you have a video project that you would like to add some depth to.
Some pics:
Building materials
I had no empty wall space so I ended up hanging it from the ceiling 

Finished project, works better then it looks.

So overall it was easy enough to make just tape some paper to a wall and your done.  However I would strongly recommend using a tripod while filming, unless you want the background to be having an earthquake.

  8. This is a wonderful thing about the internet: to find such a useful information provided by people that actually know how to teach things to others. Keep up the good posts.

    I think its about seven and a half feet by around nine feet but you can make it bigger or smaller depending on what you want to use it for.
