Lighting Your Green Screen Studio
One of the biggest challenges of successfully working with a green screen studio is evenly lighting it. The screen itself needs its own lighting ; independent from your foreground subject lighting.
The key is to evenly light your screen, while avoiding the creation of shadows. You ideally desire your screen to represent a single, consistent color. Remember, because you're trying to utilize the narrowest colour range as you can, shadows broaden the range, and are a contributor to diminished effects. If you have shadows ( darker colors ), they won't be picked up by the camera, and as a result ; those areas will not get replaced. If you are working with a low-budget setup, shadows become tougher to stop because of the cheaper, less specialized materials used.
This is why it is even that much more critical to make sure your lighting is as even as possible, especially when working with lower budget setups. Using a minimum of 2 lights ( the more the better ), you need to direct light inwards from either side, and from below ; tweak until you get the maximum even lighting. Using diffusion filters makes a massive difference in this step. They significantly decrease the incidence of shadows. Next, when you add your subject, you'll notice the subject's foreground lighting casts shadows on the screen ; you'll need to adjust your screen lighting and filters for your screen colour evenness again.
When selecting a material for your green screen studio, always consider the lighting. Glossy materials yield bad results, as they reflect light and make replaced areas seem paler. At the same time, glossy materials will cast shadows, causing darker areas to not get replaced in the result. What you need to search for is a matte surface. Matte surfaces will diffuse light ; causing even lighting across the entire material, and {therefore ,} a narrower color range. That is, there'll be less reflected light ; paler outcomes, aand less shadows ; non-replaced outcomes. Some of the less expensive options when beginning out are solids such as card or wood, painted green. Another option is a fabric like canvas painted or dyed green. Defects such as creases, bumps or divisions in your material are an enemy as they create shadows, and so imperfections in your ensuing footage. If you choose fabric, ensure it is amply thick or dense, and doesn't let light or its resting surface show thru.
When shooting with your green screen studio, your subject is also an important factor in your lighting decision. You wish to make a value difference between your subject and your green screen. Sometimes a 2 stop difference ( greenscreen is 2 stops lower or higher than the topic ) between the green screen studio and the topic is preferable as a lighting difference.
Does anyone know where I can get a black projector screen?
almost all screens are made in a matte white, but I am looking for one with an all black fabric/screen. thank you.

The Black Diamond gives you what you want in a commercial grade. Sam's Club had the Sony version about 2 years ago and I wish I would have bought one when they had it. It was only $1900 for the screen and projector combo. Now, just the screen is $2500-ish.
Other than this, you could try to make your own with flat black paint, then overspraying with a Krylon or other brand of clear reflective paint. Let me know how that works out... Of course it won't be as great as the SI or Sony version that supposedly are engineered to only reflect RGB light.
