Your Questions Answered

A cove, also known as a cyclorama (cyc for short), is a walk-in, curved backdrop used in film and photography studios. Unlike a traditional flat wall with corners, a cove creates a seamless curve between the walls, ceiling, and floor. This eliminates any harsh transitions or shadows, essentially giving filmmakers and photographers a giant, blank canvas. This curved design allows for even light distribution, perfect for achieving clean, professional-looking shots. The lack of visible breaks creates the illusion of an infinite background, ideal for anything from product photography to car shoots.

A white cove’s seamless, clean background makes it a prime location for a variety of shoots. Product photography thrives in this environment, allowing products to take centre stage without distractions. Car commercials and press releases benefit immensely from the cove’s ability to showcase vehicles in a sleek, professional setting. Similarly, fashion photography can utilize the cove to highlight clothing lines against a pristine backdrop. Beyond products, the cove excels at showcasing people. Interviewees and podcast hosts can be filmed in a clean, distraction-free environment, while round table discussions gain a polished look. Explainer videos with presenters benefit from the cove’s focus-enhancing properties. Even creative endeavours like music videos and commercials can leverage the white cove’s versatility to create dreamlike or minimalist settings. In short, if your shoot demands a clean, professional aesthetic, a white cove studio is the perfect blank canvas to shoot against.

Yes. We can paint a portion or the full cyclorama for an additional cost. paint must be supplied by you and sent directly to us at least a week before your shoot.

Diffusion Ceiling

We can install an edge to edge magic cloth diffusion ceiling under the space lights to get rid of any unwanted reflections. Perfect for car shoots! The magic cloth offers 2.5 stops of diffusion meaning that if can also be used to bounce light from the ground onto your subject, making it an extremely versatile textile. 

Large fabric green screen

A 7.5m motorised drop down green screen can be supplied as a cheaper option to painting the cove chroma green. this spans the whole back wall of the cove and is the perfect solution to your green screen needs.

Large shutter access

Studio 1 is a ground floor studio space with a 4 meter roller shutter door. this makes the load in of kit, props, sets, and products extremely easy and efficient. The shutter door is double skinned to reduce noise from the road and are controlled electronically from a panel on the wall. We also have a heavy black drape that can be pulled across the shutter door as a blackout option for shooting and further noise reduction.

Lighting grid

above our white cove, we have a fixed lighting grid that comprises of 3 horizontal box truss segments and 4 front to back ladder truss segments. this increases the versatility of your lighting placements so you can light your subject exactly how you want. We also have an on site scissor lift that can be hired for a daily fee to grant you easy access to the truss.
