Just wondering if anyone has used this background?

Its supposed to be heavier weight than other budget cotton screens so I'm wondering if it will be better or worse for creases, given that I'm going to have to fold it away after use.

The other screen I'm looking at is the PhotoSel (around same price/size).

Just want to experiement really, so not keen to stretch to the cost of a pop-up.
 
A pop up obviously saves space but I guess if it is just for experimenting than that nay not be an issue. From what I understand the key thing with green screen will be lighting it so I would look into that first. If you have that side of it covered apologies but thought I would mention it!
 
Thanks. I've seen a blue/green double-sided popup, which includes guidance notes to use the colour that is nearer opposite of what the subject is wearing.

For lighting, many of the tutorials I've seen (YouTube, etc.) use continuous lighting, but I'm guessing that's mainly for movies, and for photo use correct lighting can be obtained with a flash? Some movie tutorials also have the screen positioned quite close to the subject, but for photo/flash use, light spill is going to be an issue.

I might try out the TUFF fabric. Is anyone aware if it is possible to get a large tube (as used by paper backgrounds, etc.) to roll it onto, rather than fold it/iron it each time? I know I could just get a paper roll green screen, but they are more expensive, and when I do need to transport them to location, more of a pain.
 
I think I paid £35 for my last colourama colour rolls, one of which was royal blue and one was chroma green. At times the blue is easier to mask.
