White Cyc: Boundless Space
White cyc is a stage background used to create the semblance of limitless space or sky. It is excellent for video and still photography permitting CGI effects to be added to the image. The main advantage of a white filming stage is the ability of making the background virtually disappear making all sorts of chances for lighting, and allows for the cameraman’s subject being filmed to be center stage.
Today’s technology makes it possible for a line of white cyclorama products to be developed to meet the increasing demand for white cyc backgrounds in a large number of environments and applications. This makes it possible for a photographer to have his very own white stage in his very own studio without the requirement for leasing a studio with a white stage. The concepts of easy assemble and smaller white stage backgrounds came from the founder of Pro Cyc name Fritz. Fritz had his dream white studio built in Portland Oregon. The investment of cash and time were great and construction employees labored for weeks building the studio out of plywood and drywall. During construction Fritz kept saying, “There needs to be a better way to build a white cyclorama studio?”
Fritz was given his chance to test out his speculation while building his 2nd white stage background in Portland after his first white cyc background suffered water damage while filming a special effect. Fritz’s 2nd white cyc studio is still being use in Portland Oregon today and is being hired out to consumers like: Freightliner, Nike, Adidas, and Steinway among many others using the versatile studio. The studio has been repainted about 400 times since opening, but the walls still remain smooth as the first day they were installed.
The revolutionary patented molds developed by Fritz makes his company Pro Cyc one of the world’s leading makers of modular white cyc background systems. Pro Cyc’s research and development is consistently developing new ideas and products to meet the continually changing needs and demands of today’s media and high-tech industries.
