Hi everyone!
I just joined the forums, and I need some help. Before I have used a really crappy green cloth, that does the job but I hate using it, and it is too small.
So, I want to buy a real green screen, and am looking for an online store that sells them for not too expensive, where you can also get a pretty big size, that can comfortably fit many people in front of it while part of it is on the floor. I will build my own stand so I don't need that, just the cloth.
I live in Thailand, so I don't want to order from the US, as the shipping will cost a lot. A store in Europe or Australia would be great, though if there are any in Asia near Thailand (doubt it) that you know of, that would be sweet.
Thanks!

Just basically do a google search for 'green screen muslin'
Of those though b&h is probably the most reliable.

b&h is in the US, and would take over the price of the green screen itself for shipping. That is why I said I need a store in Europe or Australia. Tubetape only sells tiny ones, and I want a big one. Also, my parents don't want me to order from ebay as they don't trust it, plus most offers are from the US anyway. Also when I search on google, I can only find US sites, and I also posted here to find a store that others have used to make sure it is good and trustworthy.
Anyone else have any suggestions?

You live in Thailand and can't find someone that makes green cloth? I would think you
could find a weaver that if they didn't have your color, you could order it.

I'd try eBay. There's a lot of stuff coming out of Hong Kong. Good quality and cheap.

I don't want any random green cloth, I need a proper Green Screen. I already have green cloth. I can try to ask my parents again about ebay if there is nothing else.

I bought a "proper" green screen from tubetape.net It even comes with a video (that's kind of pointless) and it's huge! It cost about $60. Check it out!

Thats all you need!
There's really no need to waste money on a commercial greenscreen. If your cloth is too small go out and buy a larger sheet for a fraction of the price.
Any green material will work perfectly aslong as lit well and set out smoothly.

Here's a 10X20 on eBay. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160363093251&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT) It $35 with free shipping((in the US). It's the screen only, so support system.

Go to a fabric store. I just got some really bright neon cloth from one near me, I got 3 sheets that were each 1.2 meters wide and 3 meters long for a grand total of $40. So now i have a 3.6mx3m green screen. You can probably get a better deal, but I'm satisfied.
Edit: there's nothing wrong with random green cloth. as long as it's the right colour and not reflective, it's exactly the same thing.
A green screen is a sheet of cloth dyed chroma key green. that's it.
