Unlimited Space: White Cyc

By Phil Guye

White cyc is a stage background used to create the illusion of limitless space or sky. It is excellent for video and still photography allowing CGI effects to be added to the image. The main benefit of a white filming stage is the capability of making the background virtually disappear making all sorts of possibilities for lighting, and allows for the shutter-bug's subject being filmed to be center of stage.

Today's technology makes it possible for a line of white cyclorama products to be developed to meet the growing demand for white cyc backgrounds in a large number of environments and applications. This makes it possible for a cameraman to have his own white stage in his very own studio without the necessity for hiring a studio with a white stage. The ideas of straightforward assemble and smaller white stage backgrounds came from the founding father of Pro Cyc name Fritz. Fritz had his dream white studio built in Portland Oregon. The investment of money and time were great and construction employees labored for weeks building the studio out of plywood and drywall. During construction Fritz kept asserting, "There needs to be a neater way to build a white cyclorama studio?"

Fritz was given his chance to check out his idea while building his second white stage background in Portland after his first white cyc background suffered water damage while filming a special effect. Fritz's second white cyc studio is still being use in Portland Oregon today and is being leased out to customers like: Freightliner, Nike, Adidas, and Steinway among many others using the flexible studio. The studio has been repainted about 400 times since opening, but the walls still remain smooth as the 1st 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.

Pro Cyc works closely with their customers making sure they're achieving the optimum solution for their wants. Pro Cyc's engineering can customize design white cyc sets to meet the specialized and demanding needs of their customers. In 2007 pro Cyc enter into the personal studio market with a fresh product line reducing cyc technology down to the scale of a desktop, which broke the barrier of catalogue photography. - 2361
