Hey guys!
I'm having alot of trouble with lightflicker lately.
I'm sure it's not my lamps. I think it's my background.
It's a pretty shiny blue background and I'm using it for over 2 years.
What backgrounds are you guys using and what kind of background do you suggest me to get?
I really want a non shiny blue background but I have no idea where to get one and what material it should be.

Key word: "Shiny"
That could be your problem, and as for a solution, use blue construction paper.
It can hardly be beat.
It's not that shiny but I still think it's messing up my light somehow
Where can I get blue construction paper?

The problem with that is you angles become very limited.
A better option is to acquire a large canvas and paint it a nice shade of sky blue. This is what I use in my films.
But you should still probably duck down whenever you take a frame to avoid reflections from the pieces themselves.
Yeah and if you do end up doing what ANP SAID, don't use acrylic or at least dilute acrylics with water before: acrylic paints are very shiny because of the plastic content.

If I get a big piece of blue construction paper that doesn't really matter
Poster board comes in much larger sizes and has more even texture than construction paper.
Get some fleece or felt fabric and stretch it over a board or something. Looks fabulouso
I personally use a large blue card which I blutack to my wall. Anything which you can use to fill up the whole frame and isn't shinny is basically what you need.
