This is one of the best green screen materials. Its made by eefx (check out www.eefx.com) its the foamy material that is about 3/16" thick. no wrinkles, even after you fold it up. I myself carried it rolled up in a gigantic black tube. (don't ask how I got this awesome tube, its a long story). It is 10' wide and 20' long. According to EEFX, this is what hollywood uses for green screen. Although I've never worked in Hollywood, so I can't back that up myself.

It has a steel rod in the center of the roll so that it can be supported across all 10' and then placed onto any c-stand. (obviously you'll need 2 c-stands, one for either side)

I have to sell it because I no longer have a studio and have no place to store it. Keep in mind that with the tube case, it is 11' long and about 9" in diameter. It was only used twice because I am more of an "on location" guy, but after dealing with awful cloth green screen I was like... NEVER AGAIN!!! This gave me a perfect key with much less effort.

This is definitely going to be local pickup/delivery. I can deliver to you no matter how far you are, but I charge $1/mile from zip code 19007, with a minimum of $50.

I am asking $350 for this package. I also have some c-stands for sale if you really need them (although I'd prefer to keep them for myself if possible)
 
Tony, I don't know whether its normal or digi green. On their website it doesn't say either one so I'm not sure.

Don and Cristina, the european dimensions are 3 meters x 6 meters. The tube length is 3.3 meters and the diameter is 0.3 meters. I hope this helps.

For those asking if the eefx fabric is "digi green or dayglow green", the short answer is "yes". They only offer one green fabric and it does work well under tungsten lighting, but performs best with full spectrum or daylight balanced lighting. This is as good as it gets for fabric chromakey backdrops. Matthews and a few others sell the same fabric, FilmTools has a similar fabric, but not quite as thick, that you can buy by the roll if you're into sewing your own backdrops.

Well it's been a few years since I ordered from EEFX, but I ordered a 12x12 assuming it was digi, and of course chroma shows up... had to reorder & kept the chroma just in case.... but maby they stopped making chroma, never the less I always ask now :emote_headwall:
 
Hmmm... Yeah, I orderd one about 2 years ago and was told they only had the one kind of green fabric. I tried to get them to make me a screen that was green on one side and blue on the other, but they wouldn't at the time. So I ordered one of each.... I've since sold those and now have a 20x20 green/blue from elsewhere -- I think it's from Matthews, but I don't recall off the top of my head, had it for about 8 months now, works great. Kinda expensive though.
 
Ultimatte

Ultimatte

Ultimatte Corporation has pioneered the art of the green screen technology since the 1970's. We use Ultimatte's AdvantEdge software for our NLE systems. We needed a 20x20 so we called ultimatte for their recomendation. They recomended a company called Component Composites. They are pricey but the color is outstanding and the fabric is streatchy with removeable grommets to secure to your frame. They make the very best fabric key screens and they work really well. We have used other fabric screen but they have all been a bear to get a good key. Here you really do get what you pay for.
 
Jason:

I just went to the company's web site and saw that a 10 x 20 piece like yours sells for $265 BRAND NEW (http://www.eefx.com/eefx2/store/chroma_key_greenscreen_bk.html). You are asking $350. Am I missing something? If so, can you please explain 1) what specific extra options are added that would account for the price difference and 2) account for what appears to be no discount at all for buying a used product?

Not trying to flame you (unless it is deserved), but I am interested and want to understand exactly what you are offering so I can determine if its a bargain or not.

Thanks
 
Hi Michael, thanks for asking. The rods, mounting options, and 11' tube all account for the price difference. The screen is in mint condition, although it was used.
