My name's Tom Antos and I make videos. I am a film director and cinematographer with over 12 years experience in VFX & animation. Jak sie masz?! I'm originally from Poland ;) Check out my channel here: / polcan99
Out of all of the green screen folding videos on CZcams, this is the only method that actually works for me.
Levi D Smith same, so glad I found this! And big thanks to Tom Antos!
Levi D Smith haha me too !!!
Same!
yeah me too
Yep. Thanks Tom !@
You, sir, deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for this. I will start a petition in your honor.
Preach
I'll sign that petition - thanks Tom!
AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried off and on to fold this thing for over a day. Finally came across this video and within a minute I had the screen back in the bag. This video was a genius tutorial. Thank-you
2 years later I still find myself watching this for like what the 10th time? it's like every time I pull it out I forget how to collapse it..
I thought it was just me. I thought it was like riding a bike, but maybe not.
I watch it everytime I need to fold it too lol
Same here this video has done me good for years lol
It annoys me how many times I have to watch this 😅
Almost 7 years later and you're still helping us out - thanks Tom...
Your video is lasting the test of time. My son explained a portable green screen to me and I told him that I have one. We opened it up and couldn't figure out how to return it to the zippered case. Your perfect technique worked the first time.......I didn't even have to swear! Much appreciated.
After failing twice on our own, I followed your instruction with two engineering brains watching me. In two seconds, I collapsed it properly and they quickly bagged it, afraid it would spring. You made me the hero. Thank you so much for taking the time to record and post it. Bravo!!!!
heyyyy. First and ONLY time I've ever been able to fold my green screen up. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks so much for you video. I watch this video every time I have issues with folding my portable screen.
Steve Harpster lol good to know I can help
So do I.
Steve Harpster of u
I do as well! which has been a bunch of times.
This is the ONLY green screen folding tutorial that I understood and could actually follow! Thank you, thank you, thank you 😀👍
Tom, I've watched several of these "how to fold" videos but yours is by far the best. I was able to fold my screen the first time I tried it your way. Thanks.
My screen just arrived, I unpacked it, did a couple of test videos for the fun of it, and then tried to fold it back up. I remember reading reviews on Amazon before deciding which screen to purchase and so many of the comments talked about the difficulty people had in folding the screen back up, so when I had trouble getting it to fold correctly, I jumped on CZcams, found your video and your method worked first time. Thanks.
Thank you for this video, I can finally move back into my bed room now.
Can I just say that I seriously LOVE you! I unfolded the screen 1 WEEK ago and have not been able to use a portion of my living room because i could not figure out for the life of me how to fold this thing. Thank you - Thank you.
I've watched so many of these videos, tried your method and Boom! First time! You sir, are genius, and have just given me back hours and hours of my life. I was fighting with this thing like crazy. A local film school (as a running joke) won't let their students fully graduate until they can fold this thing. Lol. THANK YOU for making this video (and giving me my living room back)!
Thank you SO much for taking the time to make a video for something that seems so small and mundane. You have made the world a much better place!!!!! Thank you for your service, kind sir! 🤓
I watched SEVERAL videos prior to this but your instruction seriously made a world of difference. Thank you!!!!
Your method is absolutely the best for me, and I have watched so many videos on how to fold a collapsible backdrop, that I lost the count. I save the video, so when I have to fold it again, it takes me a minute including the video time. Kudos to you Mister!
Tom Antos, I pray nothing but peace, joy, and happiness for you and your loved ones. This video saved the most important piece of my life: time. Thank you so much again.
Thank you! Happy to hear it helped you and all the best to you as well. 🙏
I legitimately watch this video EVERY time I have to fold this thing. THANK YOU for making this!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. Nice simple technique that really works. Even 7 years later, it's still the simplest description and demonstration.
Even though you posted this 9 years ago... it is still relevant today!!!! Thank you, you just saved me hours of frustration.
8 Years later and your video is still the best at "how to" video. Thank you!
i have watched several videos on this topic and I couldn't get any of the instructions to work for me. I watched this video and it folded perfectly the very first time. Thanks so much. Great tutorial.
Hi Tom - I have had my large green screen for a few years and wrote the instructions out. They did not come close to your easy method of folding it. THANK YOU!
TOM!!! Thank you so much! I thought I’d have to keep the large pop up screen open forever. With your video I closed it up on the first try. It really helped for you to tell us to put the one side inside the other... that made the difference! Thanks a lot
I watched 5 videos about this, but this one did it!!! What makes the difference is that you stop halfways through! Annoyed that no one else made it this pedagogical! 😂 Thank you!
You are welcome 🙏
Thanks for this. I can't tell you how many times I've watched your video, because I keep forgetting how to fold the darn thing. This one works for me. Appreciate it.
This is the best folding video ever! I haven’t opened my green screen in 3 years as last time I did it sat open for months as I JUST couldn’t close it. Got it first time with your video. Thank you!!
This is still the best. This should be the top result. I followed 2 tutorials previously over about an hour and was convinced I was just stupid. Finally watching and mimicking your video I was able to do it! Thank you!
It’s funny there are so many tutorials but this is like one of the only ones that actually helps and explains! You are a lifesaver!
Thanks so much Tom. You're the first one who explained it in a way that I was actually able to get it to fold up. You're awesome.
I have tried almost every method I have found and yours is the ONLY one that I was able to fold my green screen the first time!! Thanks!!
You are a legend. Mine hasn’t been put away since my wife bought it for me 2 months ago. She’s since been on my back about getting rid of it as I haven’t been able to fold it. After 20 seconds of watching you video and bingo… it’s put away. Thank you very much
Thank you so much. Just wrestled with it unsuccessfully for half an hour trying to follow the Amazon instructions, then watched this and BOOM! It worked first try.
Tom I am so grateful you took a few minutes to make this video. If you had seen me trying to fold this, you would have laughed so hard. I was like a cartoon character falling and twisting all over the room. I didn't even have to watch this through, I just followed what you did from the start and boom it was folded. THANKS SO SO SO VERY MUCH.
You're welcome Grace. I can only imagine how it must have looked. 🙂 I've seen many friends of mine struggle with these huge folding screens and reflectors.
Thank you so much, Tom! My husband and I watched so many videos but we didn't manage to fold our new green screen. You definitely saved us! Francesca and Andrea from Italy
I just wanted to personally thank you for helping me end the 15-minute struggle I endured in trying to learn this myself. Thank you.
You saved me! After many Lucy moments, I watched your video carefully and bagged it on the first try. Thank you!
I looked at so many videos on how to fold the green screen and they were useless. This was the only one that made sense and worked.
Thanks!
Dude, I just wrestled with this thing for 20 mins.. 2 mins of watching your video and 3 mins later it's in the bag... ROCK ON..
Thanks Tom. Every other video on folding the green screen didn't work. Yours worked right away.
I've looked through at least 20 youtube videos and this one is the easiest and best explained method. Thank you so much. I was getting so frustrated I was going to return the screen but you saved me the trouble.
My husband says this is a great video. He was fighting with my green screen for a half and hour and the screen was winning. 2 minutes after this is was subdued and in the bag!
I don’t know why on earth I still can’t fold my green screen up without this video, but thank god for you.
Thanks! I got mine for $85 and it comes with a cool stand that's great when you don't have anyone to hold it. Link is in the description
I’ve been trying to fold this thing since June. Like 6 months!!! I’ve tucked it here and there…..and watched this vid a few times and almost gave up. Almost - I got it!!!! Thanks so much!!!!! Woohoo!
I have watched many videos on how to fold it and I could fold mine. But I tried your method and I got it on the first try. You explained it clearly and simple... and THANK YOU for uploading this
I have been battling with my collapsible backdrop for months. This techniques works and it easy to remember. Thank you sir for helping others
Every single time. I always forget how to fold it. Every time. Your video is the one that helps me. Thank you!
Each time I have to fold my screen I come back to this video!
Back again!
Watched it once. Tried out the technique. Cracked myself in the shin when the screen did it's own thing. Watched it a couple more times and paid attention. Now I'm folding it like I know what I'm doing. Thanks for the video!
Favorite all time video on CZcams..no matter how many times I have watched I still.havr to pull it up every time I fold this thing 🤣🤣🤣 thank you
Even after almost 7 years, my team found this video helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this with the world!! I struggled so much closing this until I saw your video! You're amazing!
Something that was going to take hours to frustrate me, took literal seconds thanks to you. Thanks, big guy!
Took me many many tries and three different tutorial videos but yours was the one that finally helped me! Thank you!
Wow, this is literally one of the best tutorial videos I’ve seen. Three times, first the small one, then with the big one and then repeated it. 🙏🏼 thank you
A timeless video that will live forever! Thanks.
THANK YOU, MYSTERIOUS MAN FROM 2013.
(I absolutely pulled something trying to wrangle my new greenscreen back into its case. You are the hero we need.)
This video seems to help me every time and I mean every time. Guarantee I've watched it 20 times by now.
You are a king! I have a similar shape sunshade for our beach chairs and I have been trying for a month to figure out how to fold this thing (my husband wasn't any help either). I got it in one try after watching this. Thank you!!!
took me 20 minutes of "i can do this i can do this" to finally admit, i can't. After watching this,... i actually got this in the first try, thanks mate ;)
You literally saved me ! I tried when i first got it and gave up. Months later i have to move so i came back to this video and payed very close attention and FINALLY got it ! Thank you thank you!
I watched a bunch of other videos before this and they ended up getting me hurt. Thank you for showing me a way to do it that was quick and painless!
I use this tutorial every time I use my green screen. It always works! Thanks Tom.
THANK YOU! I was killing myself trying to get that thing folded back up, and I got it immediately watching you do it.
My wife thanks you for ridding our great room of the green screen I have been unable to fold for the last 6 weeks. You rock!
Thank you!!!! I watched 3 other videos before yours and still couldn’t do it! Yours is the only one that made sense and worked!! Thank you!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Man!!!, I have a left my unfolded for a quite long time because I couldn't fold it back.
This morning I said, 'This has to be done now!. I have tried couple techniques in the past but no result......there it goes...You nailed!!! Thanks bro.
Thank you. I was struggling with folding my background and decided to do a Google search. The other video I watched was ridiculous and made the process much more complicated. Yours was simple, easy to follow and worked the first try.
Haha cannot believe the years I have been a mechanical design engineer and still struggle to fold these damn things up. Much easier to look up your video. Well done.
YOU ARE MY HERO! my green screen has been behind my couch for a month!! Thank you thank you thank you!
Watched 7 others. First one that actually worked. First time to! Thank you!!!
This is the ONLY example that helped me so I thank you!!! I had to watch it about 7 times..maybe more.
Wooow thank you for this!! I bought my green screen years ago watched many vids on how to fold and this is the only one that worked so easily. Thank you!
Thank you! Your step-by-step instruction prevented me from losing my mind.
thank you! yes it works.. I tried this video first.. tried to muscle it.. didn't work.. went to some other videos.. still couldn't get it.. came back to this one.. just relaxed and did it.. and it worked. this one is the real deal.
Thanks! I bought the fotodiox one. It comes with a free stand. Link is in the description.
Hands down , the best method. Thanks for this tut!
Thanks as previous people stated , yours was the most helpful, worked 1st attempt after watching yours..
Been said before but I'll say it again. I watched several other videos and couldn't get it. Watched yours, and got it on the first shot. Thanks for helping us out!
Every time I need to fold mine I look up this video and then it just takes a few seconds. Thanks, Tom. 👍
Thank you. We spent 15 minutes trying to work it out. Your instructions were great :)
After almost losing my mind trying to fold my screen, this method totally worked, first time for me - thank you.
I have been breaking my back trying to get mine folded up since I got it last month. I scoured videos all talking about folding it into a taco shape before I found this video. This is the only one that actually worked. Now I can finally store it instead of leaning it against a wall.
Best technique I have seen so far. Thanks.
Been on CZcams searching for answers. Yours is the fourth one I found but the first one that worked for me. Thanks.
Such an old video, Tom, but it did it for me. Such a simple thing and yet it was making feel so stupid. You did such an incredible job explaining. I watched two video before yours and failed. You were the key, as usual. I’ve followed you for some time. When you name popped up for this video, I jumped on it. Glad that I did!
Your video is the best for folding those large backdrops. It's the only method that works for me, although I never remember how to do it. This is why I saved the link LOL
OMG! This actually works! I fought with my green screen for about an hour before looking this up. After watching this I had it folded and back in the bag in under one minute.
I could not fold it, watched other videos. Then folded it the first time after watching you. Thank you!
Tom ,Thank you so much, both for the wonderful demonstration and for not making me feel like a moron while you did it. Worked the very first time I tried it.
Tom, thank you. The first time, folded like a champ.
You, Sir, are an absolute GENIUS! I've had many problems trying to fold these things -= your method worked for me second attempt, I love it! Thanks so much for sharing.
Wow, I could have save myself over an hour if I had only watched this video FIRST! Thanks so much!
I just wrestled my green/blue screen for 15 mins before googling your tutorial. Thank you very much! lmao
You will save me a lot of time now.
DUDE... you are a god lol. I spent about 30 min trying to figure this out..... you saved my life ... thank you ;)
Thanks!! Spent 20 min unsuccessfully, watched your video and then folded it on the first shot!!
Thanks for this! I haven't been able to fold mine that well since I got it two years ago! Mine's even bigger than the one in your video and it still works perfectly! GREAT tutorial!
