Paining a couple of walls has been very convenient for me. It was ready when I needed it. Even better, I had a wall on a covered patio, and sunny days produced very even light.

[@wolfamri]

Absolutely! I’m a big fan of painting.

Ive never heard of auto-poles before, but that seems to be exactly what I need to mount my pop-up green screen that has a really bad tripod.

[@wolfamri]

Auto-poles are amazing. But make sure sure ceiling is solid 😉.

[@davidwimble9907]

I'm just pondering this very moment what to get. I have a small space with a lot of bookcases and other clutter, so I think the only realistic option is Westcott X-Drop Pro Wrinkle-Resistant Backdrop Sweep. It won't be perfect but should be much better than the system I'm using now to try and cut out backgrounds. Thanks again. Your videos (background screens and lighting) were both very helpful. I look forward to watching more of your videos in the future.

[@wolfamri]

The x-drop is amazing. Just keep in mind that the stand has a pretty large footprint. Perhaps consider the fabric only and attach it to bookcases, etc. It doesn’t need too much tension since the fabric is lightweight and soft.

[@SilverHunterN]

Ive been looking into green/blue screens a few years back, but I did not get around to it. I recently moved to a new house, and my background does look a bit unprofessional, so I'm thinking about buying a g/b screen. Edit: I've been using the same Neewer ringlight since 2019 odd, ans still going mostly string, but I might need a new light source judging the ring light stand is a bit damaged.

[@MasterTheHandpan]

thanks a lot for the great video. What do you think of the Manfrotto LB7622 or LB7626. Thanks a lot

[@wolfamri]

Hi! I don’t have experience with these, but I assume the three parts wouldn’t all have the same light, so they might be more difficult to key than a flat surface.

[@Jambo1999]

Something you can try: a KZbinr suggested, to reduce green light spill, tilt the screen with the top of the screen forward. I can't do that with my stands, but maybe you can try with your autopoles.

[@wolfamri]

That’s an interesting idea, thank you! Do you have a link to that video?

[@Jambo1999]

@@wolfamri btw next time you talk about those auto-poles you could suggest they can double as Stripper Poles in your living room.

Great descriptions of the pros and cons etc. At the end I thought the Wescott looked the most evenly keyed out... I'm looking at a vinyl green screen 2m wide which would fit nicely in my office. Have you worked with vinyl before and what do you think? The green paint is also very tempting. I already have the rig set up for a grey vinyl backdrop. Sound-wise I have 2 x 2m sound curtains running perpendicular to the screen. They are so effective you can actually feel the difference when you walk in the room.

[@wolfamri]

Hi and thank you. I'm afraid I haven't worked with vinyl before. I'd check if it is not reflective, because that's what I'd expect. I really like the paint and it's extremely even. Did you check my video about the camera settings for green screen, depending on the camera you use, it could even out the green screen even more. And an absolute YES to sound curtains. The difference is massive and you sometimes wonder whether you hear correctly - like sound-absorbing ear buds 🤣. Just make sure if your room is rather long, that you don't only treat the area where you stand, but also check the echo in the rest of the room - it could possibly bounce back to your mic.

[@toby-green]

@@wolfamri Hi Wolf, I recalled watching this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3PHeGmYisqZfbc in which Caleb compares paper vs vinyl. On the basis of that video I bought a grey vinyl background - not used it in my home studio environment which is more compact so sound may be an issue. But I think with the sound curtains so much is eliminated and I will wear a lav mic so hope to be ok. The Wescott comes in 240cm though - which is an ideal width whereas the vinyl is 2m or 2.7 which I can't fit. There are no simple choices... I think this is why we end up with so much gear😄 Do you have a cheat sheet for your camera settings - I use the Sony A7iii's currently? Anyway - thanks for the vids they are very helpful.

[@wolfamri]

I'm sure the sound curtains will do their job. I only have some fabric on my ceiling, and it works really well too. you don't need to have it on every side. Watching your linked video at 6:20, I'm not sure if the vinyl would be the perfect setup. The Westcott is really awesome (if you don't get the stand). I'm afraid I don't have a cheat sheet. It depends a lot on your lighting, but 1/100sec and APS-C is definitely something I'd heavily recommend. But if you've seen my green screen camera settings video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/goO4e2l4aqyJm6M), I explain all the ins and outs in regard to camera settings. I use the a7IV and the a7III because I love to have a 4k setup, so I have both of them filming at once (yeah, a bit stupid 😂). Do you have a remote? If you film yourself, I'd strongly recommend one (been through lots of them) and what I'd also recommend is setting the sound to on, so that you know whether the cam is actually recording or not. Makes life so much easier!

[@toby-green]

@@wolfamri You're right, I didn't watch all the way through this time - the wrinkles will be far harder to pull out on a vinyl. I have a small rig remote (not tested), I also have Ninja V Pro Kit - I think the Ninja shows a record light. I plan to cast that, or the camera directly, to a large monitor. Am looking into tele-prompter options that work with the larger Ipad Pro sized screen. Looks as though a single piece of the right glass is the simplest option. Anyway, off to order the Wescott 8x8 - thanks again for your invaluable input!

Thank you 🙏 great to hear that. Do you mean the ceiling rails?

[@McKenzey-fp5ul]

@@wolfamri Yes!

[@wolfamri]

That’s a very old system I took from my old big studio. It’s from Hensel and actually too big and needlessly heavy duty for this use case. There are cheaper alternatives if you google ceiling rail system for photo studio.

[@sailmentor]

Hi, can you inform of the camera you are using? I had a canon eos 80d before, but my hair just looked awful even though i tried all settings and tutorials (i have to use obs as i am recording live). Now i just bought the Sony A7 III hoping that 4k would do the trick. It did 30% but it still looks nothing like i see here or even close. Have 4 pavotubes, 2 keylights, a green screen painted wall at 2,2m (height) x 3,7m. Tried everything with lights etc, but its still a headache. Could it be that i just did not upgrade my camera enough? And btw thanks for your videos, they are just great!

[@wolfamri]

Thank you! I'm afraid your limitation is the software/keyer. Live keying requires sophisticated tools to get similar results. I haven't done that tbh. From what I know, it is pretty expensive😬.

[@wolfamri]

Oh, and I forgot. I’m using Sony a7III and a7IV.

[@SuperDuperPeaceful]

Will a Blue Chroma screen do the same as Green screen?

[@wolfamri]

Yes and no 😉. A digital camera sensor has twice as many green pixels as it has blue pixels. That makes green the better choice 😉. Unless your subject needs to wear blue.

I'm glad I'm smarter than you. All I do is use a flat bed sheet and push pins. Then when I travel, it's easy to carry and set up at my destination..
