The key light on the foreground overpowers the much weaker ring light
that is reflecting off of the backing material.
For best results, you must flag the key and fill off of the backing
fabric.
It is a great concept, but could be considered rather cost
prohibitive.
A while back, I had found the reflective backing material alone with
no frills for $15.00 per square foot and a minimum order of 100 square
feet. ($1,500.00)
