Use cases

  • A cyc may be painted, fabric, hard-wall, or virtual-production adjacent, and can be lit for white, color, gradient, silhouette, or keying. Foot traffic, scuffs, horizon lines, and even illumination require active control.

Setup

  • Confirm the intended use, inspect the equipment, and coordinate placement with the responsible department.

Safety notes

  • Use only within manufacturer ratings and the production safety plan.
