"I spent the last hour watching a bunch of tutorials on how to felt the large background. It didn't work out. Then, I watched half a minute of your video and managed to assemble it in just 3 seconds. Thank you!!!"

[@IanICee]

Me too hahaha

[@Mandsefar]

You WIN the internet! The only tutorial I could get to work.

[@TheJaviershirley]

You have done the very best explanation of how to fold those things, Thank you so much you have change my life for good.

[@lisasulzbach8116]

FINALLY!! Someone who has a technique that most of us women can actually do! It seems like literally every other video out there showing photographers how to fold down a reflector are done by men, most of whom are as tall or taller than the reflector and have a lot more upper body strength than many of us women. I probably watched 25 videos before I finally googled a video with a woman doing it and found yours. THANK YOU!!

[@lisajarema3241]

EXACTLY THIS. All the men have taller midsections and a wider wingspan. This is the ONLY video that shows a process that WORKS for women (esp short ones like me).

[@NatureCoilsbyPW]

OMG! I’m dancing now. Thank you so much! This is the best (only) video that has helped me solve this mystery.

[@violethastings794]

Oh my God...where have you been all my life!!! Thank you!!

[@melissasales5840]

I watched many videos and this one finally did the trick! Thank you for having such a soothing voice and getting me through this frustrating process! :)

[@lazarusalhat4909]

Thanks it help me for folding

[@IsabelAYoung]

same!

[@GinaVadanaArtist]

Same!!!!! I DID IT!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@cristianavalos5879]

Same! Thank you!

[@Drewster4545]

She’s the real MVP no doubt! Got it on my second try. Thank you

[@alavecchia1]

of course a Woman Explains it perfectly. Thank you so much!

[@blondminx]

Key word here is twist lol Love it! It's like "Bend & Snap" ;) Thank you! Kept forgetting the twist.

[@stephaniefox]

Thank you SO much!!! Watched a ton of videos with men doing the demo and none of them worked. Your method is SO straightforward and simple!! You are amazing!!

[@tippishorter5737]

I’ve watched many videos that didn’t work and yours was as easy as 1.2.3. Thanks.

[@karastella3384]

OMG!!! I followed probably 6 videos before finding yours; thank you!!!

[@safesaxman]

Every time I watch your briefly perfect tutorial as a refresher (I've been traumatized trying to collapse the backdrop in front of clients) I say, "I love you!" & "Thank you".

[@lorisinclairminor]

THIS IS THE ONE!!! I was so done with this thing till I watched your video. Thank You!!!

[@yaminijain8613]

I've been trying for a year to fold my backdrop. Finally today because of your tutorial I was able to. It has been lying around my house and my sister is so happy that it is finally folded. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@gavindell3945]

This is the best video I've seen on 'how to fold my pop up greenscreen'... thanks!

[@mediterraneanminutes]

Thanks, Gabrielle! You so win the prize for the easiest way to fold it and the best explanation!

[@hollywoodstar1725]

This is the fifth video I watched and finally it WORKED! THANKS A MILLION!!

[@garethjames8307]

This is by far one of the simplest I've seen ... great job

[@gbcom26]

Best demonstration on the web. Thank you so much.

[@jc4lyfable]

Why isn’t this the top video on this topic???? Saved me from lots of tears and muscle pain from the other videos that just couldn’t work for me! Thank you!!!

[@DanBachmann]

I agree, this is the best video. I ended up bending my frame trying to do other videos. I'm a tall strong guy, but it isn't about strength, it is about doing the twist just like Gabrielle explains and shows.

[@frider707]

Thank you so much for this video. i have watched at least 5 of these how to fold videos and this is the only one that made sense and worked. Blessings.

[@triciahagerty8410]

I watched twenty tutorials and finally yours Worked! Tytyty

[@celestemariechannel]

This one works right away! The only one that works on ALLLL of youtube. Thank you!

[@ruthyotero]

Super helpful dance move. I was beginning to think there was somthing wrong with me! Thank you for making this video Gabrielle.

[@minor2majormedia210]

I watch like 3 or 4 other videos before I came to yours. Then FINALLY I ran into this video who not only can show but TEACH a technic which not only super fast but I can imagine pretty much anybody can understand. I tried it for like 10 min before I ran across your video. After watching yours, I got it right the first time at the fist watch 😂. And then I did it 2 more times to make sure I got it. Took me about a min to do all 3 times correctly and have comfortable enough to say I know now to put up my green screen up lol. I may forget or won't never have any issues again until the more and more I do it. Thank you very much highly useful and your explanation is perfect

[@djcolindale]

Thank you Gabrielle. I tried lots of other videos before arriving here and yours was the only way that worked for me. A massive thanks.

[@sophieb3826]

Super helpful! Like many of the other commenters, I watched several other videos and was unsuccessful until I found yours. Thank you so much!

[@chrisgadd5882]

At last, one that works first time! Thanks from deepest UK

[@jeanmcmillan4526]

Struggled with this for 2 days now, and came across your video, 1st time!! yeah!! it worked, thank you so much!!

[@hemidancer64]

OMG, THANK YOU!!! I just wasted 15 minutes trying to figure this stupid thing out. Your technique works perfectly!!!

[@BobbyMacey]

THIS IS PURE GOLD! Thank you. I've watched several other videos and this was the only technique that worked for me.

[@bobalina7063]

Thanks for giving my dignity and 20mins of my life back ❤

[@dianawallace8085]

Best instructional video and the only one that works. Thank you so much. You are wonderful. Honestly I thought mine was broken because it wouldn’t fold and I thought, shoot where am I going to store and transport this thing. You solved the problem and did a great job showing and explaining how.

[@user-sc4hh2lc6g]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am 4'11" and was able to fold it in one go!

[@BelowZero]

THE BEST WAY!!!! Thanks for posting this!

[@TheSicarahShow]

You made this process so easy thank you!

[@brucegavin7614]

Excellent. Works exactly as she demonstrated.

[@Michelle230ful]

Thank you so much you are a lifesaver's been watching the males do it couldn't figure it out watch a beautiful woman like yourself do it and it was easy breezy just needed a woman's perspective thanks so much

[@richardsphotography]

Thank you so much for the only person to show the easiest way to fold this thing. I was losing my marbles. I got it on the 2nd try and 3rd try then I was able to put it back in the storage bag.

[@foveacreative]

Thank you so much! Seen so many other videos that just didn't seem to work for me. Yours is just perfect! I don't use my backdrop often and always forget how to fold it. I had to remove it unfolded from a client's building the other day! 😆Gonna bookmark this vid for the next time.

[@theguitarloschannel8969]

I’ve seen so many videos for this and yours is the best and easiest to understand! Thank you so much!!!!!

[@TheHungryFerret]

I been struggling for hrs and looking at other videos, till i kinda did what you did and it worked. The funny part is I still do not know how I did it! It was magic.

[@make_malvina_up]

Omg you saved my life!! I was trying so many times and once i watch your video i did it right away!❤❤👌 thank you

[@takestepsfwd]

YAY!!! This was my third how-to video. I spent some ten minutes each on the first two, to no avail. I spent about ten seconds with yours, and voila! Done! Thank you so much!!

[@jocliff7387]

Watched a few videos and I thought I would need to be stronger.. but your was the best..got it in one. Many thanks for sharing.

[@mahnazdamania]

Best explanation so far! Thank you! So clear and easy to follow! My backdrop was lying open for the last 3 days lol! 😊

[@timboh8776]

This is the only one that truly works every time! 💥 good job!

[@paisley436]

Best one I've seen on how to do this - and I've seen quite a few. Great job

[@secretvid]

This is the ONLY method that consistently works on all my oblong pop-up modifiers

[@JohnPullum]

Thanks for doing this tutorial. I watched a couple others on how to fold a @#$#@%$# big backdrop, but yours was the easiest to follow. I really never thought I'd be able to fold it and get it back in the bag, but thanks to you, I did it!!! I subscribed to your channel, too. Keep up the great work. Thanks again!

[@JohnPullum]

I just realized I'm subscriber number 1,000!!!! :)

[@Maria-sq2fg]

Literally watched 5 videos and this one helped me. Thank you 🙏

[@daniellin6957]

Best explanation on how to do this on YT

[@NilooS]

OMG lifesaver! I was about to just rip it apart and throw it in the trash I was SO FED UP...the technique I usually use for some reason was just NOT working - so I found this and voila! THANK YOU!

[@divinewebmarketing]

Searched all over KZbin but didn't get it til your vid - ty!

[@edwalshjr]

Thank you so much! Your explanation was spot-on

[@TheBrandonLeeCook]

Thank you so much! Your video was the only one that helped me! Haha I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure this thing out, then watched your video and figured it out in like 2 seconds lol

[@veronicaesqueda1055]

YES! YES! YES! I successfully folded my lastolite with breaking a sweat! Thank you.

[@robinjohnson9979]

Thank you soooooooooo much for creating this. As a professional photographer I have avoided using collapsible backdrops because of the frustration of folding them. I have watched dozens of videos, and yours is by far THE BEST one out there. Got it on first try. Thanks, doll!!

[@savb821]

Got it as soon as I followed your instructions! Thank you ❤

[@boonehodgin3502]

This is by far the best video for this! Thanks!

[@awesomephotographytaiwan]

LOL l like the intro ,I was searching how to fold the reflector ,that brought me here .thanks ! you have great contents in your channel . keep it up !

[@markrutledge-docmark41]

Good Morning, Gabrielle! Sincere thanks for posting this excellent tutorial on how to get these monster backgrounds back into their "cages"! I bought an entire lighting setup from a dear friend, who tossed in the pop up black and blue background, along with the other goodies I bought. I decided to see what this thing was all about, and rued the day when I unzipped the case, removed the coiled monster, and allow it to pop open!! Try I might, I could NOT get this thing back into it's case, UNTIL I found your stellar video on how to accomplish this seemingly impossible task! VERY well done, Ma'am!! You earned a subscription with this video! Thanks, again, and God Bless! - Doc

[@prachimoreanant]

Thank you video was super helpful watched several video however ur way of folding helped me do it 👍

[@indextwo]

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 I watched at least half a dozen other videos (and every single one explained it differently 🙄) and this is the first one that made sense and I could actually do 😅

[@normag778]

With this video,FINALLY!!! I was able to fold it!

[@DTCarel]

This is literally the only tutorial on KZbin that isn't nonsense. Thank you SO much!

[@curiecolaco3708]

I almost cried!! Thank you so much for this!!!

[@CheynaEllese]

Woman, you’re a God send! I could literally kiss you!!! I watched 3 videos, sweating like crazy fighting with that thing! Found your video and put it on slow playback and finally got it down!!!! Thank you so much 😆

[@cham_tang]

Omg amazing. I watched 10 of these videos and this worked... And it's a better way to do it because it takes up less room and uses gravity too

[@AttorneyMelanieLittle]

By far, the BEST video on this topic- I have it saved & replay every single time I need to put that damn thing back in the bag! 😂 Thank you!

[@praeeo]

By fa,r the best and easiest instruction/way to do this... THANK YOU SO MUCH! YAY!

[@jimtipton8888]

OMG! I am no longer terrified to set my backdrop up. Thank you so much!!!

[@SonicWizKid_Kates]

I feel the same way. I feel like I’ve made a breakthrough tonight. KA-ZAM!

[@djcolindale]

.....same here. I tried for hours today before finding this video and was a massive relief when I finally did it.

[@tamarataylor5063]

Super helpful! Thanks!

[@hollyfeatherston5460]

Finally I can store it away! Thank you!!

[@atbsigma]

Thank you for making it simple! You saved my backdrop from being mercilessly burned, along with maybe a few other things...

[@LifeIsSweetney]

You. Are. Doing. The. Lord’s work! Lol I screamed when I finally got my backdrop closed after weeks of trying. Thank you!

[@SonicWizKid_Kates]

I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched, let alone attempts I have made, to make one of these fershlugginer things FOLD the way it’s supposed to. But this is it. FOOT ON THE BOTTOM (never seen anyone else suggest that), hands on top, fold down and away from you and CROSS THE HANDS… bingo. For some reason this one never came up in a search before. I can’t thank you enough. Simple. Brilliant. Clear. My house and my cat thank you, too.

[@SonicWizKid_Kates]

This video is kind of magic, by the way. I tried earlier to foid mine up today, and I thought I remembered. And I swear I did it the same way. But only after having this video on and sort of doing it at the same time, was I able to get the thing to fold. A piece of it happening is a kind of relaxing, you cant try too hard, you have to kind of let it fall into the shape in part. Its a dance. with subtle choreography. One of these days I'll get all the moves down and not need to watch the video in order to achieve it. Thank you again, Gabrielle, for putting this up. Just please don't take it down!

[@desertdove1513]

This was by far the easiest way to fold this pop up. I looked at other videos and Gabrielle nailed it! Thank you for showing us the easy way to do it. I just did it once.

[@priyankasundar5611]

Watched many videos, but this one makes my life simpler.. Thank you for the easiest step..

[@jennifermedia6288]

This video finally fixed this issue for me. Many thanks xx

[@chng9410]

Thank you so much! I watched other videos and not able to. Yours helped! Thank you!!!

[@biffgaut8376]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner. After struggling through so many other demonstrations this one was like magic.

[@turkubode]

Yeah, it took almost two hours on set and ten tutorials without mega frustration until I got to this one. It works like magic, thank you!

[@ahqball]

Finally, a tutorial that actually works lol. tysm!

[@XISushiRollzIX]

MY MOM IS BLESSED BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO THANK YOUUUUU 😩😩

[@PoulPhotography]

Thanks a lot for this easy to understand video, I managed to get it folded and bagged again ;-)👍

[@mediaobsolete2049]

dude, i watched so many videos and they were all of some guy just filming himself doing it and say SEE EASY. No, not fucking easy. Thank you, this worked for me.

[@darthgloriosa]

OMG I have literally had this up for a year because I didn't know how to fold it 😅 Got it away 1st go. Thank You!

[@alitheo1]

watched tons of vids on how fold the Pop Up Backdrops none of them was as helpful as this one ... Thanks for this video a Thumbs up and a Subscribe

[@trappy70]

[@jaybarksdale7429]

GREAT!!! Yours vid did the trick. I watch too many and yours was the best.

[@ritakaram938]

Thank you so much that was the easiest way in my opinion to fold it down ☺️

[@waginglove]

I watched two other "how to" videos on folding these backdrops. I was unsuccessful using their methods and it was like wrestling a darned bear. Tried many times over two days. Saw your video (the opening is hilarious), and it folded up on the sdecond try. Thank you!

[@CoryPtasProductions]

This is the one!!! I’ve looked at soo many tutorials and this is the one! Thank you!

[@bannerandgraphicsuk689]

just got the new pop up backdrop.. got it put away in 2 seconds flat, glad i check this video first... thanks
