Good source for Plush black velvet for screen border and masking
I have tried various felts and velvets from Ebay, and I finaly settled on some 'Sorcerer' black velvet from "Richard's Fabrics and Trimmings". I used it to cover my DIY border and it soaks up any spill caused by the slight picushion I get from my ananmorphic lens. I'll also be using it to make the masking curtains.
Do a search for 'Sorcerer Velvet' and it should be the only result you get.
I think it's good value at £4 per meter @ 1.5m (60ins) wide. I bought three meters and I think it's great value for a complete masking system, plus extra to cover other things that may cause reflections (tops of speakers or cabinets etc).
Gary.

Do you mean velvet like this??
This is the ebay number 8222451294 (couldn't link direct...sorry)
The seller set up an auction for the quantity I wanted, hence the title description!!!
Hope it's good quality

Some pics are on my web-site, but they don't show it very well. It certainly hides any overspill that I have allowed from the anamorphic lens, so I'm quite pleased with it. Just have to make the curtains now.

Wow - that screenshot of Luke looks so 3D!
You'd swear his elbow was hanging over the screen and that pole was sticking out the front.

I have to own up guys - I used a paint program to extend the elbow and stick outside of the screen area.

Cheers Gary. Is the material as effective for curtains as they are for your border?
