Hi All,

Got a film shoot coming up this weekend which at the last minute it has been decided that on Sunday we will be shooting against Green Screen. At present I do not own a portable Chroma Key screen and so would prefer to purchase one rather than hire it.

Any idea where I may be able to get one from around around the Birmingham area?

So far I've found 1 supplier but they do seem a little pricey! I need something around 3 x 6m

Help would be gratefully appreciated as I'm kind'a running out of time!

Cheers!

I hadn't no - but having looked they don't have anything suitable, thank you though!

Have you called them? Always very helpful in my experience.

Alternatively, scanning the list of Focus exhibitors I got as far as this one.

who are in the area.

Now idea about prices though so you may already have considered and rejected.

Tried Calumet?

Product

Location
http://www.calumetphoto.co.uk/eng/storeLocator/red...

2.72m x 11m for £54

ETA: I should add that this is a paper roll. The fabric roll ones from the Creativity link above seem much better but are around £350

Yes I was looking for a Muslin cloth rather than paper - I've worked with paper before and wasn't all that impressed with its durability etc.

However I have since found an answer - I'm going with this as a friend of mine has it available and I'd completely forgotten about it!

Never used it before so let's hope it works as well as it says it does!!

Cheers for your help! I'll show you the results!
