Why We Built A Cyclorama

[@doublerlifestyles3881]

Your Linus Tech Tips at heart! Thank you guys for this video. Now I have to build one of these in my garage

[@lumetrymedia]

Thank you, we'd love to see it! Got any videos about it?

[@chuckrogers5077]

Congratulations! I hope the cyc has led to bigger/better $$ for you guys.

[@lumetrymedia]

Thank you! It has definitely paid for itself quickly.

Some in depth video about the lighting set-up and to light a character would be awesome and helpfull to alot! Most of the people do it wrong and create hot spots and it is not a smooth and diffuse lighting space. Great video

I’m often in San Diego, is this still up? id love to see it!

[@JR-ro5kv]

well done!!

[@mikecapannelli7731]

nice job! Have any cracks appeared in the plaster? I'm building one and plan to mud and tape.....any suggestions?

[@lumetrymedia]

Hey Mike, thanks for checking out the video. Mud and tape was key but now we've noticed the joint has cracked and even a fresh coat of paint doesn't cover the crack. Thankfully we've done tests and the cracks don't show at all so no worries there. Just make sure you light it correctly. 👌👌 We'd love to see what you're building, best of luck with it.

hello, great job. what type of plaster did you use on the plaster board?

[@joesdayjob]

What paint do you recommend for the floor ?

[@brucewilson9958]

How much in materials? What type of paint and how long did it take to build?

[@phethomakhadi5415]

Also wanna know on the painting

[@lumetrymedia]

Sorry for the late reply, we spent approx. 800 on materials and this included the wood and paint. Paint was about 5 gallons between primer and final coats.

[@catalindoca9028]

Hello, what kind of paint do you use?

[@nightwatchmob8209]

how much can you charge a shoot building these?

[@lumetrymedia]

It really depends on the shoot. For studio rentals we charge $100 per hour. For Commercial work, it could be anywhere from $1000-$3000 a day.

[@ChrimaJrPhotopoint]

What type of paints used!?

[@lumetrymedia]

We use the 5 Gallon Behr Flat White. I know they sell cyclorama specific paint but the Behr gets the job done and is cost effective since we repaint a lot.
