Watching you set up the big movie screen that was green, just made me smile. I took an audio/visual class in my 9th grade in the early 80s. We learned how to operate 16 and 35mm projectors and I had to set up those movie screens probably a hundred times. Oh memories.

How the F... you have only 104k subs. I absolutely love your enthusiasm, like a lil kid in the toy shop. You've been my inspiration for years Markus! Thank you so much!

It's great to get real, pragmatic information from someone who's been there and done it for decades.

“Quick and Dirty “. OMG Markus this is a great educational video and with a lot of hard work which doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you! Ps I like to shoot outdoors in a park and set my lens to give me a blurry background

I love how genuine and almost insecure you can sound when you're just opening up and bring honest, like when you explained why cloth backdrops are your favorite type of studio background. My favorite creators are all people who you can tell are just being honest and sincere and not trying to put on any kind of act. Also, thanks for the tip about using an orange halo to create a cleaner cut with green screens; that will come in handy.

I love Markus. His attitude is always like "oh man, why do you make me do this" at the beginning of every video and by the end, he's like a kid on Christmas. He seems to legitimately enjoy what he does and just doing creative stuff but most of all sharing knowledge. I really appreciate what you do and the way you do it. Thank you for the fun and educational videos.

One of the reasons why I LOVE this channel is the fact that you have a splendid way of explaining things, but most of all you are REAL. Love you guys.

You are helping this 40 years vegan who's 60 years old make better videos. I just started promoting my channel which is all about spreading love and positivity by posting community signs. I've watched your health vids but only recently discovered your awesome photo/video production material. Many Blessings to you and your team.

This is - hands down - THE BEST video on the this subject. Funny thing, I’ve been searching KZread the entire day for information on background, and along comes this masterpiece of a video. Thank you so, so, much Markus❤😊

Glad it was helpful!

A Legend as always! Even though there's no new info for me in this video I watched every second of it because you explain it so well. There's so much information squeezed into this video. Very useful knowledge! Thank you so much for making these videos and helping photographers and other creatives! Thank you Markus!

This might be one of the all time underrated KZread channels

Subscribed just because of these little tricks and the passion that you clearly have in your work and don't mind to share with everyone.

I've never been involved with anything Mr. Markus other than using the traditional blue/green screens. But I know all the headaches involved and trying to eliminate the outline 'fringing' which our project's was constantly plagued with. Always appreciate your experience's and knowledge... I always love learning different techniques from you.

Man you are an absolute genius on this subject. You make every other video from other youtubers look like they were made by complete beginners. I'm just starting this as a hobby in my retirement and I've learnt so much from you it's unbelievable.

Your channel is by far the best

Wow! I am so amazed on all the wonderful work You do!!! Love it! Your photography, your art work!! Your wife photos are lovely! All your crafting in making studios. Movies keep, doing you!

Your talent for teaching is a true gift

Markus you read my mind in my current life all the time. Im moving in June to a larger house and am making a small portrait studio within my garage space. Finding some good backrounds and coming up with some ideas has been a current thing with me. Thank you!

The mountains turned out really good!

Incredible production & educational value right there... Thank you

Thanks! I frequently share your videos with my nephew, who is in film school.

I've only watched this like 6 times. Thanks, Markus.

Wow this was phenomenal! Wowowowow well done! Also, two stellar videos from you in my recommendations earns you a new subscriber!

The Bruce Wayne of YT is back with another banger! The most trustworthy advice on technique & gear! Thank you Sir🎉

Thank you Markus! As usual you are generous with your knowledge and experience.

1:08 - That is HILARIOUS!!!

That forest background is perfect for product photography with an addition of maybe a real tree branch with some leaves...Another GREAT video Markus...Love this kind of stuff...😊❤

You're the best teacher, Markus! All of your videos stand the test of time. We are lucky to have your wisdom presented in digestible format and from the source. Thank you for continuing your channel!!

Bing bada bing! Another great instructional video. This is gold. Thank you Markus and Cara. - Jim

This video is outstanding. It deserves a million views😊

I go through 100’s of videos to learn new techniques or find some inspiration and then finally I found one. Awesome advice for free!! Thax buddy

Happy to help!

Man I love your vids ;) I disagree without you about the food health stuff and things like that but your vids on SFX and photography are amazing! Not only re they informative and helpful for all levels with no gatekeeping, it's also great in spirit and openness too- You're just enthusiastic and excited to show and tell what you know. This is like the good old days of youtube (with better quality) before people just cared about making money through it. You're not trying to sell us stuff or make a vid on trivial subject so you can get 500k views and get your ad revenue for the day. These are just genuinely good videos.

This is one of my favorite videos you made. It’s insanely helpful and insightful, plus that jacket is 🔥

Your crative spirit goes hand in hand with down-to-earth practicality. That's how you implement your ideas so successfully. It is very enjoyable to watch your demonstrations. (I immediately had to purchase an ultra short throw projector.)

I learned a lot from you! It's a pleasure to listen to the presentation of a knowledgeable person! Special thanks for sharing your knowledge with the viewers of the channel.

A good synopsis of setting up backgrounds with loads of lighting tips along with some do"s and don"ts. Markus at his best. (Lampstands included.)

Pure Gold, many thanks!!!

🙌👍💖Outstanding Video! Phenomenal information. Thanks for the gems🙌🙌👍👌

Funny timing - my first backdrop from Kate arrived yesterday! I got the wrinkles out of mine by tossing it in the clothes dryer for 30 minutes with a wet towel. Overall I'm really happy with it, especially for the price.

i love the way you do these videos. This was very cool. Your miniature set videos are still best.

I'm so excited for this video! Thanks Markus!

love the backdrops you hang

Davinci resolve's new depth map feature is great for replacing green screens! BTW, love the things you build!

I've been watching videos about green screen all day long but your video was the best. I've been thinking about trying the projector technique. Just for fun.

Excellent explanations in all your videos. Keeping everything accessible for everyone

Thank ya. Thank ya vury much

the bakdrops actually look the best

Really helpful tips and after a lifetime in television I’m still learning . Thank you so much!And I accidentally put a thumbs down so please forgive me - followed by a heartfelt thumbs up! Best tip is the orange fringing backlight - brilliant thought.

Hey Marcus really cool background it looks real hello to you and your wife for more great videos 🌞👍💕

This video obviously took alot of work. Thank you for that Markus. Awesome video! Bo

I absolutely love your channel. I'm glad I found it! This video really helped. You explain things in terms I understand. Thanks!

Thanks for helping the community. Good stuff.

Markus, thanks for playing with us!

You're incredible 😀 Thank you Markus

This is cool stuff. I too go for the real backgrounds, but the fact that you can create nearly everything with the right background is a blast. Great video Markus

Legend. I’m not even interested in this stuff but Marcus you keep it real. Interesting stuff. Thanks so much.

I've been watching all sorts of youtubers on video trying to learn. I love the focus on getting the job done, not on bragging up high tech gear etc. As a DIY'er so much of this is immediately useful. This one showed me a new use for my short throw projector I got for completely unrelated reasons : )

Hi this is so inspiring such a cool YT photography channel.I am so 😊happy that I found you in the thicket of various content on the Internet. I must admit that my passion for photography has been waning for some time and yours programs correspond perfectly with my approach and awaken my inspiration again, thank you very much, great job

I also found Markus just a few days ago. Such a shame that his high quality content is hidden behind so many trash KZreadrs, who are screaming for attention and fishing for clicks, while Markus has tons of practical tips and tricks. And you can see he is loving what he is doing. ❤

Loved, loved, loved this video! You gave me so many ideas. Thank you

Fun fun video thanks for sharing your story & your beautiful home❤

Good to see you again Markus. Very instructive video. I'm still using black/white backcloths. I'm now rethinking my approach. Thanks.

The Mandalorian LED wall is called a Volume. Cool stuff!

the rocks you placed on the carpet with that desert background really sold the look!

DUDE! I was running a livestream for Brock Hampton and we built a model of their living room on sunset boulevard. You probably don't remember but you came by and took pictures with all of us. At the time I had no idea that you were such a legend. Thanks so much for being a dude who talks to the people!

Looks like Gnome! Awesome. Debian forever.

Awesome. Freakin' awesome. Like getting a doctorate education and from someone likeable. Thank you!

Thank you Markus - this was a real joy to watch and I personally learned more about what I usually don’t work with professionally. It’s already inspiring me to create, which is why I sub. Thank you

Wonderful Markus please keep doing videos like this one very entertaining and educational (working with projectors)

I’ll never use any of these background options but I sure enjoyed the hell out watching this video! Great job Markus !

Hi Markus I feel compelled to thank you for the generosity of your time, knowledge and experience.

Thank you Markus for the video.. fully loaded tips and info. I love the green out of focus background

those sheet backdrops are pretty cool actually. I can't believe the business selling those can keep the lights on.

Thank you, Markus. As ever a comprehensive, professional and personal insight into creating backgrounds. Love your channel with your generous sharing of your knowledge and love of your art with your audience.

This was so interesting, especially about projection. Thanks, Markus and Cara! I always find green screen super challenging and frustrating to edit so your point about that is spot on! Such a great point about using blue instead of green. Being colorblind I neverthought of that!! Wow! How do you attach a backdrop to light stands? A backdrop sounds like it would be perfect for the kind of videos I shoot.

I went to a dollar store and purchased some cheap green table cloths and used green tape to join them together. Works great!

Thank you Markus!!! You’re a legend! 😊

Thanks for a great educational overview - as usual - there is more than "meets the eye" behind the scenes- when you are doing pro work. Thanks!

master of light

Primatte studio is what I use too for my green screen edits, but I suck at using it..... At least 80% of my battles were eliminating shadows. Pretty much solved that problem now so I just need to get better at using the program. I too would prefer to just have a backdrop sometimes, but I love the ability to insert digitally any backdrop I can imagine. That is such a neat thing! Cheers 🍻

Amazing as always *Markus* You are so right that green screens are work ;) Love the shots and trailers this video and of course your presentation. I always feel like I'm in a great film class watching your videos.

A very good, quick, set of examples to get beyond green screening.... Thank you.

Enjoyable watching, thank you. I'm fascinated with your depth of knowledge. I'm sure I will be experimenting more with backdrops.

Thanks for this video I have watched it at least 4 times. So much info thank you again

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I am new to Cinematography and currently going to school for it. I think it's awesome that artists like yourself share their craft!

Awesome, complete, inspirational - the perfect video right when I needed it. Thanks!

Very fun and informative, and a lot of editing for this masterwork. Thank you. I'm certain I'll watch it more than once!

Thanks for the video, Markus. This gives me a good understanding of how all this background stuff works. I enjoy watching your videos.

Great vid Markus, plenty of inspiration to be had from this. Thanks!

I came across your channel a couple of days ago and I love it! I love practical effects, miniatures, etc... I’m also from that era.

Awesome as always Markus.

Excellent Markus, wow your house is a magnificent place! 😀

Fascinating video Markus! I worked in my 20's as a set dresser in TV. I used to say 'you know the background is the most important thing'. The sound and camera guys thought I was nuts. I used to watch Hitchcock movies for inspiration on days off. In the 30's 40's and 50's they used to place a sheet of glass in front of the lens with a painted background on it. It's all about context I reckon. :)

Thanks Markus, looks like you need a large house to keep all this stuff! Great video!

I've done several of these myself Markus, great video explaining all of this. It's so refreshing to see content that doesn't focus on electronics or the latest camera because as we all know, lighting and production design matter 100X more than whichever camera or lens you are using to shoot your project with. I like combining the painted canvas backdrops with real props in the foreground and mid-ground. Your Dr. Evil chair and some of your real sets look amazing, nice work.

This video came to me exactly when I needed it! Thanks for the information!

Interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, thank you!

Great video tutorial, Markus. Really great video and learnt alot more about backdrops. I've bought several myself. After months and months of trying to get my G.S lighting correct, I think I've just about managed it at last. Great video and enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks.

You know I find the video very interesting, it gave me many new ideas. but I also learned which steamer to buy!! 😁 is also very important🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🔥😎

Markus, I like the brown jacket Sir! 👍 Always looking slick and always great tips here. Cheers 🇬🇧🏆🇺🇲
