A budget green screen

- What I have here is the X-Drop system from Westcott.…It's pretty straight-forward.…And, what you get are…a couple of poles and a backdrop.…Now, this is just like a tripod…so if you flip this open,…these slide down.…And it's really exactly like setting up a tripod.…And this is the bottom part of the stand.…And then just carefully open this up…so you don't get pinched.…On the bottom here there is a hook…if you need to hang something,…like a sandbag, for some support.…Now, this is pretty easy.…As we get this built out,…this is just going to create the backdrop.…

What's important is you figure out…where the front and the back is,…and that will become very evident…once you put the second set of poles in.…Let's take these and put them in,…but we're not going to extend them all the way.…There we go.…And this creates the backdrop.…Well, as I look at this, it's pretty clear…that this is the opening on the front…so I am going to rotate this,…putting the third leg to the back,…and we've got a nice frame.…This is going to allow us to put a backdrop…
