TPF Noob!
Hello all.
I got a new Flashpoint 13' HIGH, Free Standing Background Support Stand From adorama so I wanted to make my own backdrop.
I have a question about muslin backdrops, Ive seen some very expensive and I also did some research and you can probably make one with half of the money.
I went to Joann fabrics and found white muslin 108 and 120 at $5.99 and $6.99 per yard.
What is the ideal backdrop size? I was thinking going for the 120(10Ft) wide by 24ft(8 yrds), the 10Ft width will give me an extra space to work with models and props and the length, well, I am a complete newbie but I was thinking if by any means I need to get the stand up to 10Ft I still have 14 ft on the floor to play with, I read somewhere that you want your model or subject around 6 ft away from the backdrop so that will give me 8 Ft to play with?
I am a noob on this, you guys are the experts. Any ideas will be appreciated.
The 120 wide by 8 yards will be around $60.12 with Miami sales tax included, I have to check Walmart today.
Anyone in Miami know other places to get muslin?
thanks
