Step 1
buy clear push pins to pin fabric to the wallBuy some green fabric from your local Wal-Mart or fabric store. buy 3 to 6 yards. Where I live it was less than $2.00 a yard. Also buy some push-pins with clear heads from Wal-Mart or your local office supply store (maybe even the dollar store)
-
Step 2
iron fabric well before pinning to the wallTake your fabric home and iron all the wrinkles out carefully. Then pin your fabric to the wall with the push pins where you will be doing your filming. (If the pins show up in your video later, you can always break the plastic off)
-
Step 3
additional lighting is helpfulUse lamps in your house and buy a utility lamp to add lighting. Try to spread your light evenly on the green fabric, and don't forget the light in front of you as well.
