M: 100%
Y: 6%

If the place you get paint mixed doesn’t have the capability of using any of these codes then just print a swatch out of them on a CMYK color printer

Pantone colors are for printing standards and do not translate into paint colors. (Just as RGB values for web pages don't translate into paint either.) I have managed a large commercial paint store for years and am tired of people making this mistake. Just because it can be printed doesn't mean it can be made in paint. This is especially true if you are just going to a local hardware store to get paint matched. Do you really think they understand paint? This Pantone advice is not true.

I'll try to post a few frames from the footage that we have. We only had a few stage lights and some halogens but it worked out great!

That way you can always put it away when you're done using it. If you can’t paint a wall just get the fabric. That way you can always put it away when you’re done using it.

I would totally do it. Thanks for the tip. I really wish my wife would let me make my own green screen in the house. I would totally do it. Thanks for the tip.

We've got a wall of fabric up and have many lights. I've never done this before but I've practiced with footage and read a lot about it. We've got plenty of lights (especially for the actual green screen). It's looking like it's going to come out pretty awesome. I shot some test footage on Tuesday with the fabric wrinkled and not lit at all and it turned out alright. We're going to have it lit awesome and all smoothed out.
