Green Screen material in UK? at DVinfo.net

Stewart McDonald · July 8th, 2003, 05:26 AM

Any good online websites based in UK I can get Green screen material from? I'm not looking for expensive stuff, just normal material that I can work with. I need the phone to be about 4-5 meters squared. The only places I have found have the material as long as you want but only 1 meter wide. I don't want to have to layer them.

Thanks

Well, just went round to my local material shop and picked up a 2m strip. Did a test last night that turned out pretty well. Just a few things I've got to tweak, such as lighting and also making sure the subject isnt too close to the green screen

What material is it? How much did it cost etc etc etc.

Glad you found something,

Ed

I think it's just a plain strip of cotton. 43" wide by 2 metres in length. £4 it cost. Bargain i'd say. Its about the same size as a doorframe but a bit wider. If I needed anything wider I would go and buy some more and layer them (obviously making sure I dont get shadows)

Thanks stewart, Tell us how you get on.

I might pop down to my local Frabric land and see what they have.

All the best,

Ed
