Feeling overconfident?
Feeling cocky?
Feeling the need to be brought down a notch or two?
I’ve got the perfect solution.
Try to fold a pop-up green screen.
Oh. My. God.
Usually when I use my green screen, I keep it up for weeks.
Keeping it up is so much easier than folding it.
However, I have a very small office and a very large screen.
I’ve got to put it away.
I have folded this thing a zillion times.
But I have no idea how it’s done.
It’s really just dumb luck.
I watch the YouTube videos.
I do exactly what they’re doing.
But I can’t get the darn thing to fold up properly.
It won’t go into a circle shape.
Or it partially folds into the circle shape, but an odd part of it sticks out.
Or it randomly pops open, knocking everything off my desk.
For the record, I have an equally hard time with the pop-up dashboard cover in my car.
I know, I could take the screen out into the living room where there’s more room.
But then I would face the scorn and ridicule of my family.
However, after an hour of watching a variety of YouTube clips, knocking every loose item in my office onto the floor, tripping over the enormous screen, and dropping all kinds of F-bomb variations, the screen folded up.
How did I do it?
I have no idea.
The next time I have to fold it up, I am certain it will be just as disasterous.
Folding that pop-up green screen is a very humbling experience.
