- I get asked this question a LOT: how do you mount your small canvas backdrops.
In this video I took one of my favorite Oliphant backdrops (below 5 feet in width) and used a Cardellini/Matthelini clamp to mount it on a C Stand.

Just in time! My clamps just arrived today! Thank, you, Felix!
Amazing video
Simple and clear
Thank u Felix
Thank you, Felix! Been waiting for a video of this.
Was waiting for this video . Gracias Félix !
Thank you Felix, this works for me and it's really easy. Only thing i hated about the clamp is that it comes in many different names. In my country they call it a Viser clamp.
Learned something new about c-stands. Thank you :)
me too..lol...
@@zamsphotography3838 very cool; just got a backdrop from somebody else and it rocks ass
Good stuff Felix!
Thank you!
Love this video! What is your preferred way of hanging larger canvas backdrops ?
Dakarai Flows I’ll have to make a video about that sometime.
May I ask when did you get those backdrop? They look amazing
They are from oliphantstudio.com
I have no issues hanging a big 10 feet backdrop with only one stand.
Nice. What are you using as a cross bar?
How long and wide is this backdrop this is the perfect size omg ❤️
about 5 foot wide
The texture of the drop seems very different to the image with Sarah standing in front of compared with this video. Did you do any post to the texture? (In know you graded the image)
Im about to place an order for an Oliphant and really like the result in the image with Sarah. But I want to make sure i'm getting some nice texture in my drop. But not sure how far to go....I know you cant know what I like. lol Im just curious to know if any D&B was done and im sure it was partly due to the lighting?
What level of grey did you go with? Was it more a warm grey? Also, What strength of lightness did you go with? I believe she has a 1-10 scale of brightness on her drops. I was thinking a 3 or 4 and then can darken it with lighting if needed. I just want to make sure I get something as versatile as possible due to how expensive they are. Any advice on how to pick and things to consider would be great help.
Thanks in advance
Steve Roberts hmmmm, the beauty of how Sarah paints her drops is that they react very differently to different lighting situations. For the shot of Sarah, the result was warmed up and shifted into the greens a little bit. In the video it looks different. It will look different depending on the light. This particular drop is quite old which gives it texture.
As the drops age, they gain more texture.
The easiest thing is to pull some visual references of textures and drops you like and send them through to Sarah. They are very good at translating that to a drop. And Sarah will gladly repaint a drop if it didn’t quite come out how you thought. She repainted my first drop around 3 times because I kept changing my mind!
A color profiled and meticulously processed photograph done by a high-end commercial photographer is going to look completely different than a basic, 5-minute how-to video on CZcams… The video was filmed with the goal being how to mount a backdrop, not with the goal being to perfectly accurately reproduce the color, contrast, temperature/tint, and texture of the backdrop he's mounting.
Felix, why do you use the 20" Master C Stand instead of the 40"? Wouldn't the 40" give a more stable support?
Brett Gilmour this is the 40” c stand. But the thing I’m holding in my hand at the beginning is a cardellini clamp.
Does anybody know how this clamp is called in germany? Never seen it before. Great Video, thanks.
You can get Cardellini/Matthellini clamps at most film rentals. If you want to buy them they are about €100,- each. A cheaper alternative would be the Muralini Clamp by Muraro (made in Italy). You can get a Muralini for around €50,- (For example on the Huss Licht & Ton website).
@@tech-lo1711 thank you very much, that helps a lot :)
@@mrsnack3118 You are very welcome. Bitteschön :)
I seem to have any issue with the backdrop not hanging flat, it has some waves and bows in on the sides. Any advice on how to prevent this?
Paul Ferradas the best way to answer this might be for you to join the FB group ‘lighting with Felix kunze’ and ask there as it’s easier to post pictures :)
Do you think Kupo Super Viser Clamps is also good ? as the Kupo clamp lip is not wide as Matthelini
In a pinch, I think that’s fine. You’re gonna have the same issue of it not being very wide.
Thanks for sharing! by the way, what's the size of the backdrop at the back? 6 x 8?
Story Marvel I believe it’s a 6x10
Correction, I think it’s 8 by 10
thank you :)
With two c stands could you make a larger backdrop using this technique? One c stand for each side? I ask this because I cant find any back drop stands in my area and only c stands haha.
I only use one stand for a big backdrop ,no problem
Just curious, but can you use 2 or three for a wider backdrop?
Yes, absolutely, I've done it plenty of times before.
nice tips,but that righty tighty is a good one, as in that situation, you would give yourself an injury 'downstairs' if you know what I mean, as the pole is literally between your legs as you are doing that demonstration!!- so you definitely don't want the pole moving :-))
Never thought of that! Lol luckily everything was fine!
What is the exact size of that one?
Pedro Gameiro 4 1/2 feet
This dude rocks ass 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
