After these parts were constructed, we had to move the pole and feet assemblies to the school assembly hall stage because the entire assembly would be too big to manoeuvre throughout the school building. We took the decision to finish the assembly of the green screens on the stage.
This part involved constructing the MDF wooden boards to the top and bottom of the poles. The green screen paper would be attached to these parts providing more of a surface area for the paper to be attached to the frame which will create a stronger and therefore safe assembly. It also allows us to line the paper out as evenly and as straight and tight as possible to minimise creases on the surface which will allow our green screen to be more effective.
This photo shows the sheer scale of the build…and there’s 3 of these:
Once the boards were attached to the bottom and top of the frames, it was time to add the green screen paper. To do this, we started on one side, and lined up the green screen edge to be straight and parallel to the edge of the pole. We left a bit of over lap on this side to give us some extra room to work with and avoid leaving any fuzzy edges from the paper being cut. We then used a staple gun to attach the green screen paper to the wooden frame. We started along one side, ensuring after each staple the paper was still running parallel and even across the frame. We paid a lot of attention to this as it was critical to the success of these video parts.
Once the green screen paper was attached, the green screen panel was finished! We just had to repeat the entire process 2 more times… And these were the finished results!
Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.
