The total cost for the green screen I used for the video Dried Up Old Bones and this video was less than $5. I use a Magix video editor Pro 14.

I think almost any lime green paint may work pretty well- we don't wear that color typically and it's not skin tone.

@SteveHovland Be sure to use lots of light for maximum effect in editing. Thanks.

reckon some places raise the price because of the demand of "green"? haha..only in America..nice video btw :)

[Featureman]

@OnlyTheScriptures Maybe. It is pretty cheap if you can find it for $1 per roll. Thanks.

These are great tips! I need to try some of this. Poster board option looked like it worked really well.

[Featureman]

Thanks, Adam. I have learned it is possible to purchase poster board for $1 at Dollar Tree. Maybe 99 Cent Store has it too.

I can testify..Dollar General has the gift paper for a buck a roll..going to try and figure out how to use it..LOL..I bought Magix edit pro 16 and afraid to open it..tried the demo so I know it will work on my cpu.It is intimidating though..very confusing,keep thinking I might find a real simple one besides Windows Movie maker but Magix has a lot to offer

@Featureman thanks my friend. :) I really like yours aswell I love how your always helping other people on your videos. you are great!

[Featureman]

Thanks. I actually have a big expensive green screen in a storage building on one of my properties but I need good weather to run the electricity to it and we have had storms recently. Also it is so big I can't just use it in a house without clearing out a big space. This gift wrap works well enough for most of what I will be doing. I really like your movies.
