An old King-size waterbed mattress? Tarp? Painter's canvass? Old Stage Panels? Painted sheets? A plain wall/side of a building? Um, imagination can go a long way....

A blue screen might be easier to find, so don't rule that out Try looking for a tarp, I know I've seen some blue ones when I go camping If you need something small like just for a face, I've heard of people using LCD screens like on a tv I'll post again if I remember anything else
