White Cyc Studios: Boundless Technology

By Phil Guye

White cyc is an individual element used to build a cyclorama that encircles the stage. All the changes in technology have done tiny to switch the way in which the cyc is lighted over time. All the new technology has increased the importance of correct 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 a very useful tool when it comes to lighting the white surface stage set. The white cyc supplies the lighting designer with an abounded number of lighting chances for staging the required computer effects scene. The white cyc with correct lighting will draw the spectators focus to the subject that the producer wants to show off. This is the major advantage of white surface backgrounds, and the rationale white cyc studios are used for television commercials, news programs, music videos, dance routines, and other kinds of film media. White is used for the color of the cyc because it leaves the background void so a new background with the required effect can replace it. The void background is great for digital fashion photography enhancing the model's appearance and keeping total focus on the model.

The number of white cyc studios technology walls can be painted green to combine green screen effects in the white cyclorama studios. This works as the cyc is void of background allowing for the green screen background effect to turn up in place of the white cyclorama background. Using the cyc enhances the green screen effect by giving it illusions depth and infinite space. Robert Rodriguez exploited a method similar when he was filming Sin City when he uses his 1956 Chevy Panel truck in the flick. 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 wagon 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 pictures and TV programs today cyc lighting is very essential in creating 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.
