Green Screen--HELP!

The acting troupe at my school is looking to paint a wall green, to use as a green screen for our videos we record. Our school only has cinder block walls, so my question is this: When we go to replace the green screen with an image, will the fact that there are little creases (the the blocks are put together) mess up the effect? Because I know that if we were to use a green sheet and there was one little ripple in it, it would add a black blotch to that area on the video, b/c the software would not know to replace it. Does anyone know if the fact that there are little indents in the wall will ruin our green screen effect? thanks!

If a sheet messed it up, then I am sure that the creases would have some effect upon it. Try getting a huge canvas and painting it green.

Or do what the studios do...use a roll of green fabric.
