You may find green screen
kits which contain cheap lights, green screen backdrops made of
cloth, light stands etc. The kits may be easy to set up and use.

work if you do not get the right material for the green screen. Here
is some important information about the material for the green
screen:

The green screen
suppliers or manufacturers have many types of green or blue screen
materials available. Which ones should be used? Of course, the

About Generic Green
Muslin
Muslin is the type of
green screen material which is widely available on online
sources and is included mostly in green screen kits available in the
market for shooting for green screen. This material is sometimes
difficult to work with due to some valid reasons. Firstly, it
wrinkles very easily. Secondly, it absorbs light very easily. It is
good to use by beginners in photography, because it is available at
an affordable price. However, if you are a professional and you wish
to achieve professional and clean results in chroma keying, you
should use some other material for your green screen.
