Green Screen Backdrop Background by Fancierstudio -6'x9' Chromakey Green Screen

I had been doing my financial trading podcast Bodies X Wix using OBS Software and I noticed someone doing something similar but the background was the chart. So I thought if doing the same and I looked up how to do it. At first, I had a light green sheet that spanned across my entire wall and I found the chroma key for that color and it barely worked. Until I ordered this. After I got this it worked extremely well with my webcam that is in my Macbook, I didn't have to use an external webcam and it still turned out great. I'm also using no professional lighting, just the lighting in my room. There is a little bit of a greenish outline around me, and that's even after I've tried to perfect the settings in OBS. Now, if you really want professional-quality, yes, get a good streaming webcam like a Logitech C920s, Or C922, Or anything better. Also, if you're going to be doing bigger projects, get a bigger size than this one. But this one spans the size of my wall and my webcam catches my shoulders up. I could redo it to where the width is smaller and the length goes to my floor, but for me this is all I need. It just took a couple of tacks in the wall and VOILA. Now it looks like I'm part of the charts I'm showing people while describing them on Bodies X Wix (Shameless plug, but check out my YouTube Channel if you want to learn to trade :) )

I'm an amateur photographer and had plans for this. Our Christmas pictures were taken in our cabin and I didn't want the sad, scraggly-bare-winter-state woods, so I put this behind the window outside. That allowed me to easily photoshop-replace the green with more acceptable images of snow-capped mountains on the background layer. We always add "staged outtakes" and add to the card so I was able to replace the mountains with ChickenZilla and have our son run away from it.I'm sure I'll get much more use out of it.Words on the quality - it has the feel of a cheap sheet and is a bit thin, so I had to wait until it was a little darker outside so as to prevent the daylight from coming through it creating a more problematic chroma key color replacement. I had to add an extra strobe or two inside to compensate, but that was an acceptable trade off for the results (see pictures). If you're doing portrait work with this as a backdrop you might want to worry more about the wrinkles it holds to safe a few extra minutes of building your photoshop masks, but since I just had to knock out the window I wasn't concerned with them.I got more fun comments about this year's card than previous ones, so it was well worth the few bucks. I'm sure it will get lots more use.

After reading some of the negative reviews, I was a bit skeptical to buy this product. Some said their backdrop shipped with stains and wasn't a true chromakey green color.Being only $20 dollars, I thought I would take my chances and see for myself if this was a worthy chromakey green screen for my videos.Shipping was flawless, and it arrived in the standard Amazon box and the backdrop was nicely secured inside. No problems there.And after unfolding the backdrop and hanging it inside of my studio, I found this product to be exactly what I paid for - A perfect/inexpensive green screen that wasn't torn or stained, and was the perfect size to fit against one of my studio walls. The backdrop was bright and vivid green and didn't give off that horrible reflection/glare that plastic or paper green screens give off.And just to test it out, I shot a mini video clip with my DSLR and imported it into iMovie using the "green screen" function. Absolutely no problems whatsoever.Overall, this was a good buy for me. Maybe some are into this kind of stuff more professionally than I am, but this chromakey does everything that I want it to do, and for a good price.Just as some advice, be sure to have a sturdy frame to hang your backdrop onto, and some good clamps so you can stretch out the backdrop to reduce wrinkles. And of course, some REALLY good lighting to give your backdrop a nice even color.

As another reviewer noted, this product comes folded, not rolled, so you have to iron it, and it was also for me somewhat resistant to actually being ironed.In using it, however, the wrinkles were not as much of an issue as making sure it is evenly and well lit. If you have good lighting on the subject but the screen is full of shadows (i.e., not lit well), it's tougher to key.I'd recommend going to your local Home Depot or hardware store and getting a six foot piece of wooden dowel -- the type you'd use for a closet rod -- and attaching it to one end so that a) you can roll it to store it and b) you can use the dowel as a weight on the bottom. (That won't work so well if you intend to use it in "landscape" mode.)I'd also recommend getting some clamps (I used clothespins) and string to stretch it across whatever kind of frame you decide to make or use.

I purchased this green screen many years ago when i did not have any knowledge on how to chroma key. Now that time has past. I noticed that the fabric is sensitive to tugging. If you have it pinned to the wall and pull on the screen it will tear. Due to advancements in technology and manufacturing, you can find many different green screen and blue screen options, ranging in price. If you need a green screen made of fabric, I would visit the fabric store, and price match. This green screen is made from cotton, and it wrinkles very easily, dust clings to it very easily too. The wrinkles are a huge problem, because they cause shadows to appear, and that ruins the chroma key effect. Over-all, I still to this day use the green screen for zoom meetings hanging from the ceiling on a curtain rod held by hooks. It could be a good investment if you take care of it well.
