Picking Fabric For Your Green Screen Studio

By Phil Guye

So, You have decided that because of the advantages of using fabric for your green screen studios, you will set out on a journey to find just the right fabric that fits the area you have prepared for your studio and as well as your position allotted for the green screen itself. There are a lot of fabric stores around and if you have the time, you can try going through every single one of them.

However, if you are finding yourself pushed for time and you don't have the luxury to go to every fabric shop there is you should simply go to the biggest shop there is for the sole reason that the bigger the shop is, the bigger the probabilities that you're going to find what you are looking for. When you have selected the fabric shop to go to, here are the rules that you have to remember when choosing a fabric:

1. The material should be opaque although it is inevitable for fabric to be just a little bit reflective, be a bit picky this one time and rummage through their collection for something that doesn't reflect light. What's the reason behind this preference? Just imagine that when you use green screen studio, it'll be the same with using a normal background. In truth, it will be a lot more sensitive than the normal backdrop or the ordinary studio. So if you tip the light in the area, a reflective green screen will create lighter hotspots

2. Look for lighter green. The brighter the green is, the better it is. You have to look for the brightest green you'll be able to find. However be scared of the transition between green and yellow. Confirm that it's a bright green but not bright enough for it to be confused with yellow. If your human eyes are confused, then the misconception will double in the post-editing so be cautious.

3. Look for material that is crease resistant. If you have selected fabric for your green screen, you would know this is your worst enemy and that this is the largest disadvantage in using fabric in your green screen studio. Test the material if it creases easily because you will be lugging the material around and it would save everyone a large amount of trouble if it can be moved around and set up without fiddling with the smoothness of the fabric. - 2361
