    Out of all of the green screen folding videos on RUclips, this is the only method that actually works for me.

    Your video is lasting the test of time. My son explained a portable green screen to me and I told him that I have one. We opened it up and couldn't figure out how to return it to the zippered case. Your perfect technique worked the first time.......I didn't even have to swear! Much appreciated.

  • @dmichaelsfishden
    @dmichaelsfishden 3 года назад +1

    I've watched so many of these videos, tried your method and Boom! First time! You sir, are genius, and have just given me back hours and hours of my life. I was fighting with this thing like crazy. A local film school (as a running joke) won't let their students fully graduate until they can fold this thing. Lol. THANK YOU for making this video (and giving me my living room back)!

  • @GenealogyTV
    @GenealogyTV 4 года назад

    Thanks for this. I can't tell you how many times I've watched your video, because I keep forgetting how to fold the darn thing. This one works for me. Appreciate it.

  • @UFOBobTV
    @UFOBobTV 9 лет назад +1

    Tom, I've watched several of these "how to fold" videos but yours is by far the best. I was able to fold my screen the first time I tried it your way. Thanks.

  • @healthypetchallenge9944
    @healthypetchallenge9944 8 лет назад +1

    My screen just arrived, I unpacked it, did a couple of test videos for the fun of it, and then tried to fold it back up. I remember reading reviews on Amazon before deciding which screen to purchase and so many of the comments talked about the difficulty people had in folding the screen back up, so when I had trouble getting it to fold correctly, I jumped on RUclips, found your video and your method worked first time. Thanks.

  • @roadrunner156
    @roadrunner156 4 года назад

    Your method is absolutely the best for me, and I have watched so many videos on how to fold a collapsible backdrop, that I lost the count. I save the video, so when I have to fold it again, it takes me a minute including the video time. Kudos to you Mister!

  • @krystalstutts6432
    @krystalstutts6432 2 года назад

  • @sueleroux525
    @sueleroux525 4 года назад +1

    After failing twice on our own, I followed your instruction with two engineering brains watching me. In two seconds, I collapsed it properly and they quickly bagged it, afraid it would spring. You made me the hero. Thank you so much for taking the time to record and post it. Bravo!!!!

  • @LMDixon
    @LMDixon 3 года назад

    Can I just say that I seriously LOVE you! I unfolded the screen 1 WEEK ago and have not been able to use a portion of my living room because i could not figure out for the life of me how to fold this thing. Thank you - Thank you.

    TOM!!! Thank you so much! I thought I’d have to keep the large pop up screen open forever. With your video I closed it up on the first try. It really helped for you to tell us to put the one side inside the other... that made the difference! Thanks a lot
