At the Cliffs of Moher (virtually)

I finally got a green screen installed in my office. Now that I’m doing a lot of Zoom webinars, I want to have a nice background. Zoom comes built in with  backgrounds, but you have to have a green screen. There are a lot of ways of going about setting up a green screen, and I chose to simply buy the fabric and create it myself.  Actually, the credit for this DIY project goes  to my husband who hooked up a clothesline behind my chair and wrapped the green screen fabric around a PVC pipe and secured it with a few small nails. All I have to do is unroll it when I need it. I can also take it off the clothesline easily and store it away!green screen rolled up
