Need help selecting green screen

[mhurwicz]

Got this info from laraghouse:

There's really no plus or minus but here are some differences.

* Tempo is 5' wide and poly Pro is 10'
* Poly Pro Is rated and certified FR (flame retardant) and Tempo is not
* Tempo is light weight but denser in size due to being a foam product
* Poly Pro is the same weight and feel as Commando and folds down a lot smaller.

I am interested in wrinkles. If you fold this up, store it, then go to set it up, which one is faster, less prep time, meaning that I don't have to mess with wrinkles, and also want a material to last a long time while still holding its color.
Thanks for your finds.

I am trying to decide between the Manfrotto Background Support System and Calumet Heavy-Duty Background Support.
What are you guys using

Going with eefx.com for my greenscreen. The look solid and are not bed spread thin.
I looked at larahouse, and could not find prices. Are they both about the same price?

What is better the Chroma Green or digital green. I am using a HMC-150.
I think eefx.com just has the Chroma Green.

I am also going to buy a cheap Green Screen brand on Ebay for shooting some scenes outside to see how it holds up. Many people say it is thin and like a bed spread. Has anyone have any luck with any ebay sellers or brands on ebay?

Decided on the Calumet Background Support, this is cheap but solid in all the reviews.

So I will have the nice eefx down in my basement or for pro-jobs, and a cheapy for making stuff for my family outside.
I always wanted to do a car seen where I am on top of the car, and someone off screen with leaf blower shooting me. To get the effect that the car is moving. Should be fun.

On page two of this thread I posted info on eBay screens. I use several cheapies. Shot the below video with ebay screens (and a leaf blower) with an HMC-150. the green puppets were shot on a magenta screen.

I recommend a Harbor Freight dimmer for the leaf blower...

For eefx green screen owners, is the Fabric Seam a big deal.
Sometimes I will have the camera 10 or 15 feet from the green screen, will I pick up that seam and is it hard to key out?

I have limited space in my basement sometimes.
I looked into a lot of green screens. I really enjoy working with them, and the eefx seems the best price for quality
I am going to work hard to hang top lights and side lights to light it up.

Also, do you know if I were to keep it out, does the color fade with time?

Composite Components Company. The BEST in the industry. Academy Award winning green/blue screens. I use these all the time for my keys. You almost can't get a bad key. Used on Spiderman, Batman, etc.

This is a helpful thread and I thoroughly enjoyed that video Michael. Thanks and good job!

I myself am looking for a green screen to use outside that my talent will be stepping all over. I'm thinking disposable paper would be best for this.
