White Cyc Studios: Incredible Technology

By Phil Guye

White cyc is an individual part used to build a cyclorama that encircles the stage. All the changes in technology have done small to switch the way that the cyc is lighted over time. All of the state-of-the-art technology has increased the significance of proper lighting, and using the right kind of material for the white cyc.

What technology has done is take century old technology and make its use necessary for making virtual backgrounds for virtual and computer effects for the up and coming flood of films, and diverse video applications conditional on PC systems requiring faultless virtual backgrounds that may only be created in white cyc studios. White cyc studios technology dates back to nineteenth century German Theaters and has bounced round the entertainment industry for a long time. White wall surface was use for early twentieth century Broadway plays and finally ended up in Hollywood use for creating computer effects.

The white cyc is an extraordinarily helpful tool when it comes to lighting the white surface stage set. The white cyc provides the lighting designer with an abounded number of lighting chances for staging the specified computer effects scene. The white cyc with correct lighting will draw the viewers focus to the subject that the producer wants to show off. This is the major advantage of white surface backgrounds, and the reason white cyc studios are used for TV commercials, stories programs, music videos, dance routines, and other sorts of film media. White is used for the color of the cyc as it leaves the background void so a new background with the desired effect can replace it. The void background is excellent for digital fashion photography enhancing the model's appearance and keeping total focus on the model.

The a number of white cyc studios technology walls can be painted green to combine green screen effects in the white cyclorama flats. This works as the cyc is void of background allowing for the green screen background effect to show up in place of the white cyclorama background. Using the cyc augments the green screen effect by giving it illusions depth and infinite space. Robert Rodriguez employed a method similar when he was filming Sin City when he uses his 1956 Chevy Panel wagon in the film. He places his van on a platform and films it from all different camera angles. The actors were filmed in front of a green screen background and were composite in the truck film to appear to be inside of the wagon. In reality the actors never were in the van during filming. With the inflating number of computer effects in movies and TV programs today cyc lighting is terribly necessary in making special visual effects.

Flick producers have doubts about using white cyclorama studios for computer effects. The producer's doubts are quickly discharged with clear knowledge of what the cyclorama terraces can do when they witness the results from the production studios. Another use for white cyc studios technology backgrounds is on talk shows when music groups stop by to play one of their new music pieces. The white surface supplies the perfect area for creating a quick music environment. - 30542
