Looking for a weekend project for your photo studio? Alrighty then.
Thoroughly amused at the approach taken here in this vid by folks at EyeHandy, having mostly naked model Ashley showing us how to make a cyc wall. Funny though, if you can get past the scantily clad builder using power tools (not sure why you’d want to do that…but….), the truth is that the actual info here on how to build a cyc is really well done.
Lot’s of people have asked if we have a cyc in either of our joints and truth is we do not. I’m only shooting in studio 10% of the time, so having that space be transformative (ie. not committed to a cyc) is preferred for us. If you ARE in the studio a lot, then…ahem…perhaps hire Ashley. Says at the end of the video that the cost is $1250. For the materials.
Happy weekend.

It’s two feet off the ground because a lot of things you shoot on a cyc look best when shot from ground level or a low angle. Lying down to shoot gets to be a pain. Much easier to shoot your subject on an elevated platform. . .
I built a cyclorama wall for the first studio I worked for some 25 years ago, I’d been building skateboard ramps for years, my boss saw some pics I’d done of a ramp and next think I’m ordering timber and plywood. I have to say having an assistant like Ashley I’d never of finished the damn thing!
U r not gonna popular by this gross video pal π
I’m sorry… I watched the video and have no clue what she was building… nor do I really care π What was your point again?? π
Funny but old. The french comedian Alain Chabat created a DVD around 10 years ago called BricoleGirls: http://www.livevideo.com/video/suzannestokes/BB317E54B64C4AD685EB5D73F4C79D64/bricol-girls.aspx
Nothing is new, everything is remixed!
