Photography and Video Backdrops - Difference Between Cotton & Paper Backgrounds

[@hypop]

Sorry for the poor audio in this one guys! Had a dodgy lapel mic :( We're upgrading our mic setup for future videos!

[@thybowllingman2752]

Thought it sound pretty good actually just very low on volume and a little too deadened. Audio quality gets a lot worse towards the end however, just noticed

[@thybowllingman2752]

Nice vid quality though

[@paolamendez6062]

It was perfect 😻😍

[@callmepj4333]

No problem, sexy!

[@gameboyAdvSpDSi]

Came for the term (cotton muslin) and stayed for the thorough explanation!

[@whitneysweek]

Helped me choose the interview backdrop material for my thesis film, thank you!!!

[@GiselleBuencamino]

thanks for this video. very informative and helpful for me as I am planning on changing my filming background. thank you

[@kristenthomas7320]

This video helps a lot with purchase decision! Would also love to know though comparisons for which backdrops are best for which situations (like is muslin for better for outdoors, or paper better for portait photography, etc.)

[@pedrosampaio6471]

Super well explained. I make studio photography for many years but today I learned someting new, thanks!!!

[@hypop]

Great to hear!

[@billywatson9821]

Good video.

[@iamernestt1]

What backdrop type did you use for this video

[@cmStudios256]

This was much better for me

[@theflawless00]

Should a cotton backdrop be less wide than the stand? If it's wider than the stand, wouldn't that cause wrinkles?

[@OurvidsTV]

Great video!

[@hypop]

Thanks!

[@acking1502]

What’s better for studio photography? I’m new to it.

[@InfluentialPMO]

You’ve just helped me make my decision - many thanks.

[@hypop]

Thank you so much!

[@wonderfullymade9903]

Thanks so much. Straight forward. Any video on Paper stands?

[@LuisAntonioJordan]

Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it!!

[@AdamCJost]

Very informative video free from useless information. Nicely done.

[@hypop]

Thank you!

[@aashichopraa]

On-point and very informative!

[@hypop]

Glad it was helpful!

[@blackjack6406]

How do you store paper backdrops when the ceiling isn't high enough for them to stand upright?

[@doubleclickpixels5644]

I love this

[@hypop]

We are so glad :)

[@StashBosslady]

Great video

[@wiselivingph9371]

Thanks for this!

[@khicchik]

Can we just get one Green backdrop and change the colors in post instead of getting different colors?

[@hypop]

You most certainly can. The main concern when using a green screen is to ensure it's well lit for a clean chroma key during post!

[@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837]

For anyone reading this, consider that green color reflecting unto the subject can become a problem using this method, depending on how critical the work is.

[@sameersaini1224]

Can you please let me know if cotton muslin backdrops are suitable for full length shots where I want some frame of the floor as well in the same color as the background. (the cloth extended towards me(the photographer). ) Will it have wrinkles while people are standing on it?

[@hypop]

Hi Sameer, it will be suitable for full length shots however will wrinkle when someone stands on it. Paper backdrops are the cleanest backdrop if you want to avoid wrinkles or texture in your shots.

[@hillsarmedia]

There's this type of fabric which is like canvas, it is called 600D or D600 its perfect for backdrop and it will not wrinkle

[@KnottyTutorial]

Very helpful... thanks

[@jhsimpson99]

Thank you! Helped me to decide.

[@hypop]

Glad it helped!

[@KhalidAlKhairy]

Thank you for video, i need it 👍

[@hypop]

You're welcome 😊

[@CJKows]

Super helpful video, thank you!

You're very welcome!

[@CelGaming]

No mention of polyester backgrounds and PVC materials ones. I'd imagine they aren't that much different from cotton?

[@hypop]

Polyester are quite similar to cotton backdrops and will still need some form of ironing/steaming. PVC are more commonly used as surfaces for product photo tables and more suitable for photographing smaller items.

[@AkHiLb87]

Good video man, thanks!

[@hypop]

Thanks for the feedback Akhil! :)

[@gmonc8912]

Can muslin backdrops be painted on, or only tye dyes?

[@floatingrabbit3556]

This video could not have a come at a better time because I am lookibg to buy local paper or fabric for my shoots. Thanks. Side: note I do not know how your mic is setup but I will assume it is a lav mic. I can hesr the gain (hissing) as the mic adjusts to your voice to pick it up. Work on that or I highly recommend a shotgun mic for crisp audio. Kudos.. Keep the good work up.

[@AllThingsLex]

Hello from California! You're very good on camera which makes your videos pleasant to watch in full length. Very helpful & informative as I'm looking to upgrade gear & studio for my channel. Keep it up ✌

[@thefansverdict1]

What your KZbin channel?

[@Cookingtime171]

Thank you

[@McPhilligan]

Great video and explanation :)

[@mac8806]

Hello! Is it possible to print on muslin fabric? Cos i need a backdrop to look like a classic painting and its either i paint on it(which, is it also possible?) or hire someone to print on it using with my photo using an inkjet printer. Thank you! and I hope you answer :)

[@hypop]

I can't see why not. Depending on the muslin fabric you get they're made from either 100% cotton or poly/cotton blend. The 100% cotton material would be similar to screen printing on t-shirts. Acrylic paints would be best suited

[@mac8806]

@@hypop thank you very much!!!

[@mac8806]

@@hypop thank you very much!!!

[@The_Creative_Workshop]

spray hot water on the cotton backgrop in will decrease

[@miablondishop]

Thanks for the info. The quality of your video is so awesome. What did you use to record?

[@billywatson9821]

It is a good video.

[@garrychauvin6731]

Best of others

[@ayseuguzz]

same shoot with paper and cotton would be helpfull. but thank you.

[@Digmen1]

Hi. Has anyone ever washed their muslin backdrop?

[@hypop]

You can most definitely wash them. Only concern would be to steam out all the creases once washed. A dry cleaner would be the easiest option!

[@TruthDefender]

LOW QUALITY MIC?

[@andytaveras9532]

you didn't mentioned anything about vinyl

[@hypop]

Hi Andy, our store only currently offers paper and cotton backdrops as these are the most popular. We decided to just clarify the differences on those backdrops for any people in the market who may not be sure what to choose.

[@FANTAFRUITYTWIST]

I feel like this was just a sales pitch

[@itswrongtokillanimalsifyou2837]

I feel like it was >99% useful information for people thinking about buying their first backdrop, but with a pitch thrown in. Because why not benefit all parties?

[@vladolaf2601]

You’re such a handsome dude!

[@dannystudios5231]

I agree...

[@andrewjaz5246]

unnecessary explanation.

[@vidatuvida]

Great video
