Just wondering if there is a certain brand that has a nice user following? I've been using green poster board from walmart lately and want to move up to a real screen. I've seen the paint codes so you can buy the correct color from lowes and walmart, but i dont think my girlfriend wants a green basement :) So, whats a good brand to go with? Any input is appreciated.

I just bought a 10x12 Botero green-screen backdrop from B&H, but haven't shot with it yet (or received it yet :)). Hopefully, it'll work out. I opted for this one because it was cheaper (around $83) than similar sized offerings from Westcott and the rolls of green screen backing available at www.studiodepot.com.

That said, Westcott products are usally well-made and reliable (I've been using one of their 6-in-one reflectors).

I probably won't be shooting with the green screen till the end of December, but will post back my impressions of the Botero.

I like these: http://www.digitalgreenscreen.com/prodindex.html

They are made of spandex, so they don't wrinkle, and can be used underwater!
