PRODUCT ROUNDUP BY GREG SCOBLETE
Savage Universal
Rustic Backdrops
The Rustic backdrop from Savage Universal gives
you all the charm of an abandoned building with
none of the dank mold and rodent infestation. If
you want something a little punchier, you can flip
the backdrop to reveal a bright red mottled finish (inset). The 5 x 7-foot
backdrop can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and steam-ironed to flatten. It
can be purchased alone or as a kit with an 8-foot aluminum stand.

Lastolite Urban Collapsible
Background
Love the grit of the big city but not, you know, actual grit?
Lastolite’s new Urban-themed collapsible backgrounds
are a sanitized alternative. The backdrops are reversible:
One side features a “smokey” pattern with a dark vignette
while the reverse resembles a concrete surface with an
even tone. Easy to transport, this 4. 9 x 6.9-foot backdrop
collapses to a third of its full size.

Backdrops by WHHC: Frenzy
Aptly named with its bursting, slightly out-of-focus color blobs, WHCC’s Frenzy
backdrop is printed on 100 percent wrinkle-free polyester fabric, ensuring you won’t fall
into a frenzy trying to iron it out—though, not to fret, you can steam away any wrinkles
that do pop up. It’s sold in 6 x 8-foot or 10 x 8-foot sizes. For cleaning, this backdrop can
be machine-washed (never dry-cleaned) on a cold or gentle cycle, and air dried.
