    if you have the ability to paint then yes you can create green screen. You can use just about ANYTHING for green screen though some materials are better than others, lighting is a big key also. you should get a bright green coloer that is not close to any other colors on your actor.probably rive and daft can touch more on what paint to choose

    Canvas drop cloth works very well painted.

    You can get a big 4x8 piece of styrofoam from Home Depot or some place like that & paint it green It's flat & stands up against the wall nicely. :)

    Go for it! Just make sure the paint is even. If the lighting and paint are all even, it won't matter.

    Avoid any form of "shiny" paint, make it as matte as possible.

    Also, I didn't paint, I ran to a store and bought a huge roll of green cloth. It was on sale. Who in their right mind wants neon-green cloth? I got 10 yards for $20. :)

    i got some table liner or something. Its green foam on 1 side and bonded to a plastic sheet thing. If lit right it works great
    Price- 9 1/2 yards for 9 dollars

    not shiny and not see through like fabric
