I have an upcoming T&I for a group of 350 or so basketballers. And we have to use a room instead of the gym for both days of shooting. I want to get a custom background made that I can use for their shoots. Where do those of you that have them made get them done? I need this by mid Jan.

When you say custom, I'm assuming you mean with graphics and not plain or tie-dye but your design?

Good luck,

Thanks for the reply Lee and yes. I am looking to have a "basketball gym" layout put on one for a background. Generic gym setting to use for team and individual photos, rather than a plain white background as I have done in the past.

Matt:

I've used the ones from Owen's originals and Backdrop Outlet for youth baseball and they look pretty darn good.

We were thinking of green screening our youth basketball leagues this winter but the AD's at the schools gave us the gyms for shooting the teams and individuals for the entire day but some of the basketball backdrops would be my first option....but a few of the teams have green uniforms so I scrapped that idea.

You could always have your own custom banner made from your image on a canvas material at a place like this:

but I don't know the cost to have one printed 10 x 8 for individuals or 10 x 25 for teams?

It could be a small fortune.

Good luck,

Yeah I'm trying to find one about 10 foot tall and possibly 18 or so foot wide for teams. I would just shoot the indy in front of it as well just shooting tight and using a section of the backdrop I liked.

Thanks for the link I am going to send a couple of emails out most I can find that are 10x20 are 20 tall and not wide.
