I don't. But it can be used as a blue/green screen 16:33 Feb 28, 2011
What is a Cyc, you ask? Well, it's not a shrink, nor is it a quick way to refer to a bicycle. Cyc is an abbreviated term for cyclorama. Webster defines a cyclorama as "a curved wall used as a background of a stage set to suggest unlimited space."
To elaborate a bit further, a cyc is any type of walled background incorporating one or more curved surfaces that are used to create a background with no perceptible beginning or end. This is referred to within our industry as an infinity background. When done properly it is virtually impossible to discern where the floor ends and the wall begins. We refer to the curved pieces of a cyclorama as "coves." Coves are used to connect the 90 degree intersections of wall and floor, wall and ceiling, and/or one wall to another. A true cyclorama also has a top cove meaning you also cannot tell where the top of the wall ends and the ceiling begins. To expand the effect, corner coves may also be used to connect more than one wall. |
