My mom enrolled me for carnatic music classes when I was in 2nd grade and I used to bunk the classes to play marbles with my friends. When my mom went to pay fees for the second month, she was shocked to know that there was no pradeep in the rolls at the class. ;/

Just make sure that you lightly starch the cloth so that it doesn’t dimple. Canvas cloth is perfect if you can get it. satin or silk is great if you wnat to work the wrinkles and the creases into the shot. A satin background, combined with some color gels, will get a you great background.

I have been thinking on the same lines, having multiple curtain rods with cloth and paper spools.

Otherwise, you can’t do highkey portraits or use backlighting.
