Why Use a cyclorama Studio?
If you’ve ever watched a commercial, music video, or high-production livestream and wondered how everything looks so clean, polished, and distraction-free chances are, it was shot on a cyclorama wall.
A cyclorama wall, or cyc, is a curved backdrop that creates the illusion of an infinite space.
Unlike a standard studio with corners and hard lines, a cyc wall blends the floor into the background with a seamless curve, removing depth cues and giving full visual focus to the subject.
There are 5 reasons why pros choose it
1. Seamlessness = Visual Focus
With no hard edges or shadows in the background, the attention stays exactly where it should: on the talent, the product, or the message. That’s a big reason why commercial brands and content teams use cyc walls when they need clarity and consistency in the frame.
2. One Space, Many Looks
A good cyc wall adapts to almost any shoot from blue screen productions (like the children’s series filmed by Emma Memma’s team), to fitness campaigns (BIG W, Mamamia), to corporate livestreams (like NAB’s Sydney broadcast), to music clips and product launches.
The look changes based on lighting, props, wardrobe, or digital overlays giving maximum range from a single setup.
3. Faster Post-Production
Shooting on a cyc means fewer distractions in the raw footage. That translates to easier editing no need to mask out background edges or fix color inconsistencies. It’s clean in camera, which saves serious time in post.
4. Lighting Made Easy
Lighting a curved wall is more forgiving and flexible than a standard flat wall. The curvature naturally bounces light, which helps avoid harsh shadows and hotspots. Whether you’re after soft commercial lighting or something more dramatic, the cyc plays nice with all setups.
Especially with our inbuilt system which you can turn the Cyc into any background color.
5. Room to Move
Space matters especially for choreography, fitness, group shots, or equipment-heavy shoots. Our space at Pyrmont Studio is 7m wide x 7m deep x 3m high, fully soundproofed, and engineered for production flexibility.
That’s why brands like PlayStation have used it for clean talking head content, while others use the exact same space for high-energy performance work.
The Cyc could take your next production to the next level
A cyc wall isn’t about fancy aesthetics, it’s about versatility and production efficiency.
It’s one of those tools that once you use, you wonder how you ever worked without it.
If you’re a creator, agency, or brand planning your next shoot it’s worth asking:
“Could a cyc wall make this easier, cleaner, and more scalable?”
Chances are… it can.
