How do I close a large green screen?

Published in Green Screen Basics 2 mins read

Closing a large green screen, especially the pop-up kind, usually involves a specific folding technique. Based on the provided reference (folding a round pop-up green screen), here's a general approach:

  1. Take it over: The initial step usually involves manipulating the screen into a more manageable position. The exact motion may vary depending on the screen's size and construction.
  2. It falls: Typically, after the initial manipulation, the screen will naturally begin to fold or collapse on itself.
  3. That is how to fold your iconic screen: The provided video demonstrates that these steps result in folding the screen.

While the specific folding method depends on the type of green screen you have (e.g., collapsible disc, frame-based), the principles remain similar:

  • Collapsible Disc Green Screens: These often have a spring steel frame. The folding usually involves twisting and collapsing the screen into a smaller, circular shape. Look for specific instructions from the manufacturer, as forcing it the wrong way can damage the frame.
  • Frame-Based Green Screens: These might involve disassembling the frame or collapsing it in a specific sequence. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the correct procedure.

General Tips:

  • Consult the Manual: The best source of instructions is always the manual that came with your green screen.
  • Watch Videos: Search on YouTube for videos specific to your model of green screen. Searching for something like "[Brand] [Model] green screen folding" can be helpful.
  • Practice: It might take a few tries to get the folding technique down. Practice in a spacious area to avoid accidental damage.
  • Store Properly: Once folded, store the green screen in its carrying case to protect it from damage and dust.
