you can buy one on eBay for the same price
Cool!
you talk wayyyyyyyyy to much
i also used twin flat sheets of different color (gree/blue for my green screen effects and black/white) sewn together to stop back lighting in my pics. And when I break down mine I can actually roll the pipes up in the sheets. All you would need then is a bag to slide it all into…..
great Tuto. I actually did the same thing with the PVC, but I split the height by cutting the pipes and adding smaller diameter to make it adjustable for adults and children… just a thought I wanted to share.
That’s what I ended up doing (sort of) and I detailed what I did in another video on my channel. Again, however, I over thought the problem and engineered a solution in search of a problem. A couple of bicycle hooks would’ve made it completely irrelevant anyway.
The DIY PVC solution is pretty good for being portable. Just use MUCH thicker PVC pipe (don’t cheap out like I did) and it’ll work like a dream.
Why not mount it directly to the garage ceiling? Then pull the it down with as needed with a hand-crank mechanism.
very smart not to glue all the pipe together, leaving you with the option to add new back drops as your please you should check out “lemondrop stop” on facebook to see some of their backdrop options, very nice
I would build a box with the PVC not a frame. Make shaped like a rectangle standing on its end. that way its way more stable
what thickness pvc did you go with ? an what was used as far as elbows ect for bottom half
Trevor – you’re completely correct! A buddy used thicker PVC pipe and his works great.
Might consider going to a larger PVC pipe than 3/4 like 2″. It might be more stable. Any ways thanks for the idea
He’s a Hobbit you insensitive clod.
Are you a midget or dwarf?
Guhbh
Thx for you vid. if you have an updated version, it would be cool to see what you did.
its so unstable
Yeah ,, Its simple but you made it fantastic..! Keep up the good work.
Good idea!

did you end up drilling holes? how did it work if you did?
shapeworkstudios1 – not a bad idea. Mounting is is probably the hardest part, along with size issues. We purchased a set of projector screens for our new church campus and they’re fairly limited in width. Glad it works great for you!
I got a projector screen from a resale store. i pull it down, and it looks great, and is easy to light.
