    Okey so this is the situation:
    I'm in a new job as a photographer in a dental clinic (weird I know) and this is my first day. I'm doing a photoshoot with a dentist with this kind of background (a black and white one, not chrome) and, when we finish, the dentist ask me if I know how to fold the background. "Of course I know, don't worry" I say. SPOILER: no, I don't know how to fold it. So he leaves me alone with this fucking monster. Well, I try like 20 fuking minutes to fold it with no result. I see like eight videos but I'm stupid or something and I can't fold it. I'm just about to cry in my first day at my first serious job. BUT THEN STEVES appears with this fantastic video and AT LEAST I have been able to fold this fuking stupid background thanks steve you are my hero 😭😭😭

    Just purchased an LS 5x6.5 ft. Chromakey background for daily use in an office setting. Folding it up daily has been a chore--like wrestling an alligator! I tried several different videos for reference and found my success rate to fold very low and my frustration rate very high. Then, I found this video and on the first try, folded the background! I had my wife come in to the office area to show her how easy it was, as she too was frustrated with this thing. I unfolded the background and folded it right up. She couldn't believe it. Thank you for the vital tip!

    I would like to pay for your first born to go to college. I have real tears in my eyes because I thought I would just have to live with this as a roommate in my small, nyc studio apartment. This was the 3rd video I watched and the only one that spoke to me. I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with me. But, I think finding the video that teaches you how to fold this is a very personal, intimate experience. God bless you and your family and friends and thank you so much!
