Chroma Key Studio


Our Chroma Key Studio offers features not found elswhere that make it ideal for complicatated CGI productions. For instance, the 40'x60' dimensions of our studio is an optimum size for Chroma Key shoots. Unlike smaller studios, it enables you to separate the lighting for the background from the lighting for the talent in the foreground; so that the lighting on your talent does not have to be flat in order to get a good key. Separation also helps to get a cleaner key because it greatly reduces the reflection of green light off the walls and into the shadowed parts of your talent's face. Our two piece black stage curtain can also be drawn over the green cyc wall not in frame to further reduce the reflection of green light off the walls enabling you to get a cleaner key. The high 17.5' grid height assures that there will be less fall off from top to bottom on the back wall, and from head to toe on your talent. It also allows room to hang, without dipping into your shot, the large 6kw Space Lights that are the preferred approach to creating the base key level.

Our three wall cyc simply gives you more working room, than a one or two wall cyc, before you shoot off the background. In fact, our three wall cyc gives you more background than our competitor's larger studios with their two wall cycs, because you can get as wide, if not wider, a shot without shooting off the cyc with the third wall. With a third cyc wall you will probably not have to cheat camera angels, or reset talent and lightng, when you punch in for cross cutting closeups - which can be a real time savings. The third cyc wall also enables you to do 180 degree dolly or steadycam moves.

That's not all, our studio is the only independent production stage to offer the time-saving amenity of a full pipe grid with distributed power - a feature that can eliminate the $1'000s in additional labor required to light with box truss at our competitor's studios. The extensive acoustical treatment of our studio will give you a clean audio track without the reverb of a large, mostly empty, studio. Finally, where our Chroma Key Studio's default color is chroma key green there is no fee to paint our studio's three cyc walls, or an additional fee for power. These are just a few of the reasons why our studio is better suited for Chroma Key shoots than just about any other studio in town.

70' 3-Wall Cyc


No studio in town is better suited for complex CGI production than our Chroma Key Studio. It offers special features, not found anywhere else, that make it ideal for complex CGI productions involving long dolly moves and steadicam shots.



With the only three wall cyc in the region, our Chroma Key Studio gives you more background to shoot against than any where else. In fact, our three wall cyc gives you more background than our competitor's larger studios with their two wall cycs, because you can get as wide, if not wider, a shot without shooting off the cyc with the third wall. With a third cyc wall you will probably not have to cheat camera angels, or reset talent and lightng, when you punch in for cross cutting closeups - which can be a real time savings. The third cyc wall aslo enables you to do 180 degree dolly or steadycam moves.


This feature makes our studio ideal for shooting complex computer generated images involving long dolly and steadicam shots - like the circular Steadicam move pictured here for a WBZ-TV News Promo. Our 70 ft. three wall wrap-a-around hard cyc gives you an unsurpassed 180 degrees of key background to shoot against. Without a doubt, our three wall cyc gives you more working room for CGI compositing than even our competitor's larger studios with their two wall cycs and at a fraction of the cost in studio and lighting rental.


The 40'x60' dimensions of our Chroma Key Studio is an optimum size for CGI shoots.

Full Pipe Grid with Distributed Power


Our Chroma Key Studio is the only independent production stage to offer the time-saving amenity of a pipe grid with distributed power - a feature that can eliminate the $1'000s in additional labor required to light with box truss at our competitor's studios.


A less obvious, but substantial cost saving feature of our Chroma Key Studio is its' pre-existing pipe grid with distributed power. Our grid greatly reduces the amount of time & labor required to light a set. At a comfortable working height of 17.5', our grid is easily accessible by ladder, so that there is no limit to the number of crew that can rig at once. At our competitors new studios, there are no pre-existing grids, and a Genie Lift is required to reach the ceiling girders. Where both grid pipe and lights must be rigged with only one lift; the lift quite often becomes a bottleneck that slows production down. Without a doubt, our studio's grid eliminates the $1'000s in additional work required to prelight and wrap our competitor's new studios.

Drive-In Access

With drive-in access and a 70' three wall wrap-around hard cyc, our Chroma Key Studio is ideal for limbo car spots. The 40'x60' dimensions of our studio is also an optimum size for car spots.

Unlike smaller studios, it is big enough to drive a car into and still be able to separate the lighting for the background from the lighting for the talent & car in the foreground. Which means that you can get a good clean limbo without throwing shadows on the wall. The extensive acoustical treatment and intimate scale of our studio will give you a clean audio track, without the reverb of a large studio, making our studio ideal for stand up sales presentations and car spots.
