After a year of having mine out just out of the way because I couldnt get it folded, I was finally driven to this video. 5 min later, its folded and put away. Thank you!
I spend hours trying to do this on my own and I failed miserably. Frustrated, I gave up and left it open leaning against my wall for weeks. Then I watched your video once and I folded the damn thing in less than 30 seconds. Thank you so much for making this video. You rock!!!
I've been trying fold this thing up for about an hour now, and I've watched a few different videos but this is the only one that I was actually able to follow. Thanks a million for the slow, clear instructions!
This is what I call valuable content, seven years after you’ve posted this video it’s still as relevant as it was probably the day you did it thank you so much. You just made my life so much easier! ❤
Thank you! I've been fighting this green screen and the other videos went too fast and made zero sense. This helped me fold it in the first try after watching. The comment about two taco shapes was spot on.
Loved the ending. "Oh, I guess it does work that way." I about sprayed coffee all over the monitor. Thanks for the video, without which I wouldn't have the darned thing in a bag.
Thank you for this video! Let's admit we all love RU-vid for videos like this. Just spent 30 mins trying to fold it up. Found this video and after a few times we folded it! Thank you!!!
You are a bloody star. I tried to follow the useless diagrams that accompanied the item. I also watched someone collapse it in less than 30 seconds. Neither worked. Your instructions worked. I never thought I would get excited about being able to fold a green screen. I tried it again and again. It worked. It works. Thank you.
Oh, you saved my sanity. I got this screen a couple months ago, used it for an online acting class for six weeks, then left it open in the living room because it took me half an hour to fold the f@#$er up the first time I tried it, before my class. I watched approximately 5 other videos on how to do this that didn't help. Yours did...at least for now! :) Thank you!
Tip: in case you’re not quite paying attention like me to create that half taco shell you only push with your right hand and your left hand stays like he says when guiding it. Great video!
You are absolutely right. Product comes without any explaination on how to fold. You unfold excited to see your purchase and then you start fighting as the screen takes place when one don't use it. Thanks a lot, you saved my day!
If it helps, the comment from oomingmakroo did it for me. I just stood my frame in front of me, short edge on the carpet. I put my toes on the short edge. I grabbed the top short edge with one hand in the middle of the frame and twisted it as it collapsed downward. The frame collapsed into to three 'loops'. The part I was holding and twisting became the middle loop. The two outside 'loops' formed as the frame was collapsing, but I did have to make slight adjustments at the end to make sure the loops were all the same size. I did this like 10 times in a row because I couldn't believe the process could be that simple.
Awesome! I purchased my portable green screen several years ago and it has been sitting open the entire time. After watching your video, I can finally put that bugger away!
Thank you very much!! After about 1 hour, 5 videos and sweating as if I were at the gym, Finally, I could fold this nightmare, in just a minute thanks to your well explained video ❤
You are a gem, Lo, and I'm so grateful I found your take on this awful problem. I've had mine set up and being moved from place to place for ages because it keeps getting in the way when not in use, and now, it's all packed away until I need it again. Thankyou.
OMG - THANK YOU!!!! I have been STRUGGLING to get this thing folded for MONTHS and just leave it propped on a wall LOL In less than 2 mins, I've folded and refolded 🤩🙌🏾👏🏾💪🏾
I hate to laugh, but I feel your pain.😂 He makes it look so simple and easy!!! I finally got it after 4 tries! I eventually turned it on opposite ends where it appeared to be more flexible and it worked!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is by far the fastest, simplest and easiest to remember method I've found over the years of forgetting how to do this after each of those rare occasions when I have cause to use the thing. Thanks.
Just got mine free with a studio strobe purchase. After quite some trying to fold the darned thing, I realised why they were given away free... Then I fond your video! You have my sincere thanks (and the price of a coffee) in return for this vital information!
Thank you for the guide. I've noticed that I come back to this every other month when I need to fold the screen again. I do some production with greenscreen but it's more seldom these days that I forget every time. I see the video and the taco shape and remember and then just do it, quick and easy. Thanks again.
This has been setting up in my office for ages cause I couldn't figure this. Asked my husband for help and he couldn't either. YT for the win again! Thank you so much!
Thank you for putting my folding frustration to an end; I was fighting quite comedically trying to get it folded for 30 mins. I found the video and had it on point. Thank you!
Oh you adorable man, Lo. Just got mine and in this wrestling match the screen was winning. One look at your clear demonstration and that monster is back in the bag. Thank you.
Thank you. This is the only helpful video I have seen. It’s important to see you doing it facing away instead of looking at the camera. The twist is crucial! Thanks again
My new greenscreen came today - I've had one before but that was tiny so was easy to just put away - and I opened it up not realising it's so big and then attempted to fold away using the sellers instructions that didn't seem to work for me. Thanks so much for this video! I managed to pack it away with ease just slowly following you, I'm definitely saving this video for reference!
what up! i struggled for 30 minutes until i relented and watched this video. i was then able to fold this nightmare within 90 seconds. without Lo i wouldn't be in the know!
OMG, I fought with this freaking thing for an hour, your video helped soooooo much, I think if I hadn't found your video this green screen would be hacked and sawed and in the trash. Thank you, after watching your video 5 times and wrestling the dern thing I finally did it.......I'm not 100% sure I ever want to open it up again!
OMG I bought my green screen like 3 months ago and have spent several hours, with days in-between out of frustration, trying to collapse it. I FINALLY DID IT.
Thank You so much for posting this video 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I had 2 big collapsible backdrops that stayed open for over a year because I couldn’t figure out how to close them. But after watching your video both of them were closed within 10 minutes thank you so much🙏🏾🙏🏾
Just wanted to say thank you. I’m just an actor so I have no idea how to use this and because of covid we needed to start doing this ourselves. I watched a ton of videos and none of them made sense. Watched yours...got it first try. Thanks again
I watched this several months ago when I first got my screen. I had to watch it again because I forgot how to fold it. LOL...Excellent video Lo! You do KNOW!
Super helpful! I literally watched your video did and folded this thing in 20 seconds. Lol I was struggling for at least 5 minutes before I watched this lol Thanks.
OMG. WILL YOU MARRY ME? Talk about coming through in my time of need!! My hands are bruised. My ego bruised. Finally THE video I only needed to watch once and NAILED it! THANK YOU!!
Dude. REALLY....THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this. I echo all the other comments in this section as I literally couldnt get it done. Appreciate your instructional. Have a splendid day.
Oh my.... thanks so much! I could not figure out how to get that screen back in the bag! Just one time of watching this video and it is neatly hanging in the closet.
Seriously - THANK YOU. I know this is an older video, but you did the action slowly enough that I could follow it. Other ones I have watched were too far away to see what was actually happening. I have been losing my mind trying to fold one of these and this helped so much.
Wow, man... you saved me! I bought this a long time ago and wanted to use it for a stop motion project I'm working on. When I unfolded it, I thought... "WHOA! This screen is BIGGER than I need for my project!" Your clear and simple instructions helped me out tremendously. Thanks for making this video!!
This took me two tries. The first time, I got the first step wrong and pulled the screen _toward_ me. That, uh, made a difference. Thanks for the tutorial!
