Let's get into it.
The backdrop option we'll be looking at today
are cotton muslin backdrops.
So, I've got a cotton muslin backdrop with me here.
It's all folded up.
This here is a chroma key green screen muslin.
They're available in multiple colors.
So, from plain colors such as white,
black, grey, chroma green and chroma blue.
They're also available in tie-dye colors.
So, we have them available in tie-dye black, tie-dye blue,
tie-dye orange, things like that.
So, they're definitely available in array of colors
that you can change the different backdrop options
you have for your videos.
The great thing about cotton muslin backdrops
or some of the pros and cons include
that they can be foldable.
So, as you can see here you can fold them up,
you can store them away, you can bring them around with you,
it's quite easy to set up and set it down.
It's basically just a big sheet of cotton and that's all it is.
Another good thing is that you can machine wash them.
So, if they do get dirty over time,
you can machine wash them, clean them up.
Some of the cons include
that there is a bit of texture to cotton muslin.
So, there's texture to the material
that sometimes can be seen in photos and videos.
However, if you've got like an iron or steamer for example,
you can definitely get rid of some of these wrinkles
so you can create a nice clean seamless backdrop.
So, the cotton muslin features a rod sleeve.
It's typically a little sleeve on one end
that allows you to feed the horizontal crossbar
of your backdrop's standing.
So, if you have a backdrop stand,
the horizontal bar simply feeds through,
allows you to mount it onto that backdrop stand.
Cotton muslins are available in three different sizes.
So, we have them in 2m X 3m, 3m X 3m, and 3 X 6.
So, the differences between the sizes are that the 2 X 3
is more suited for crop shots or a single subject.
The 3 X 3 is suited for just the background.
So, if you're doing crop shots and half body shots etc.
But it is quite wide,
wide enough for you to have one or two
or even a small group of subjects.
And lastly is the 3 X 6m.
So, if you're wanting to do full body shots from head to toe,
the 3 by 6m is required because you'll have 3 meters of backdrop
and then 3 meters along the ground
allowing you to do full body shots.
So, the next backdrop option we'll be looking at,
are double-sided collapsible backdrops.
I've got a double sided collapsible
backdrop here behind me.
This one here is made from a cotton muslin material
and also a flexible frame
that allows it to create this sort of shape,
this oval shape for the backdrop.
So, it's the same material of the previous backdrop.
So, it's a cotton muslin.
Therefore it is textured and also does have wrinkles.
What you can do to reduce those wrinkles
is obviously use an iron or some sort of steaming iron.
Otherwise, you could also blast a bit of light onto it
and that will help reduce some of those wrinkles
that come up in the videos or the photos that you take.
Now, in terms of sizing,
these come in one size which is 2.1m X 1.5m.
So, you can orientate them in two different ways,
either portrait or landscape.
So, either 2.1m high or 2.1m wide.
So, that means if you have just a single subject
talking then you can have it perhaps orientated portrait.
And that way you have enough height to have like a crop shot
or a half body shot.
Otherwise, if you have a couple of subjects
in an interview scenario for example,
you can orientate it sideways in landscape mode
and you can also accommodate for two subjects.
Now, with the double sided backdrops,
they actually have little tabs
that you can mount them onto the backdrop stands.
So, there's a little tab at the top.
If you're wanting to orientate a portrait
or there are two tabs on the side
if you wanted to orientate it landscape.
Some other advantages of double-sided collapsible
backdrops includes the fact that they're double-sided.
So, this one here has two sides to the backdrop.
You've got white on one side and you've got black on the other.
Perfect for versatility
in terms of having a variety of different shots
that you can use with different backdrops.
Instead of having to carry
around two different color backdrops,
you simply have one backdrop that does the job.
Secondly, is that it is collapsible.
So, the fact that it is a portable collapsible backdrop.
that means you can actually fold it down into a smaller shape.
Allows you to transport it,
pack it away and it's easily portable.
So, the last backdrop option we'll be talking about today
are paper backdrops.
So, paper backdrops are seamless paper backdrops
and they're seamless because they're one
consistent material of paper. They're available in two sizes.
2.7m X 10m, 10m in length and 2.7 wide.
So, that's a full length paper backdrop.
There's also a half length paper backdrop which is 1.35m X 10m.
So, you can get them in half lengths and full length.
So, depending on what type of shot you want.
So, if you want more subjects in your actual frame
or if you just want a single subject,
you can select the size that you need.
The great advantage of paper backdrops
are that they can be used
for both photography and videography.
They are a completely seamless paper roll.
So, that means there's no creases, there's no wrinkles
and there's really no texture on a paper roll.
They're also a paper roll.
So, that means you can roll them away and store them away
when you finish with your shoot.
And lastly they're available in an array of different colors.
So, we have 20 plus colors available.
You can go from the standard neutral colors
to very colorful paper backdrops.
So, that was a quick run through some of our top backdrop options
to create high quality videos.
You're not limited to just these backdrop options.
You can most certainly customize your own backdrop.
An example would be to customize paper backdrop
with either markers or paints,
or perhaps go into a fabric store
and customizing your own material to use as a backdrop.
