Portable Green Screen Adventures|VFX

So, for our VFX module, we had to have a green screen sequence. It doesn't matter if it's 60 or 4 seconds long, if it's filmed in a studio environment or outside. We HAD to have it.
I've borrowed a portable one as I was filming everything outside. Luckily, I've also took out a frame to mount screen onto, which was sturdy enough to stay in one spot during windy day. Shooting itself went quite smooth and we finished it all in less than an hour. However, the troubles were yet to come.
Portable green screen FlexDrop2 is not as easy to fold as it's presented in multiple YouTube tutorials. It took us quite a lot of takes to actually manage to fit it back into a bag. I bet we looked like the guy from this video ;)


Lesson for next time: allow extra time for packing green screen up.
