Well I know from movies the screens are a special fabric and theye are
very large and usually quite some distance from the subject. They don't use
any special lighting though just a lot of it to have the curtian evenly lit.
Now, I did turn on my VCR to a blank channel. It then produces a blue
screen. I used that for a background, and used 2-300 watt working lights
placed as far back as I could without reflections on the screen. It worked
very well. There was very little spillage. Very little meaning only on the
very edges of the object. I think this meathod would work very well for
single still shots. If somebody has a 36" TV or larger I think it would work
beautifully.
