The walls are already plasterboard and hardboard for the curves, these will be plastered. The entire space needs painting in a matt paint and be able to be repainted regularly, so I don't think vinyl will work in that instance. The lease still has 3 years on it and there is no requirement to...

Thanks, again though the colour match would be a concern as those floors cannot be painted as they are designed to be stain resitent I believe.

Thanks for the suggestion. My concern with the epoxy is whether it is paintable? As it would need to be the same matt/flat white used on the walls and curves.

Hi all, I've been in hiding for a bit, but I'm glad to say my new studio is nearly ready for launch; the only last remaining feature is completing the cyclorama. It's a good size at 4.5m high and 15m long including the sides, but I've yet to construct the floor and am having a little wobble on...

Interesting, I'll check it out. Thanks.

Thanks, Yeah the heating is going to be a challenge. I've bought one of those propane fan burners to get things up to temp quickly and then I plan on a couple of infrared overhead units on the beams to maintain the temp. How do you heat yours?

Thanks Garry. Have you used the chroma paints before specifically? It's easy to think that a standard paint will do, however 'in theory' the specialised paints are designed to subdue reflection/refraction of certain wavelengths I believe. Not sure how much is marketing gumpf and how much is...

Question #001 - Chroma Paint I'm dedicating an end of the barn to shooting and will be turning it into a 3 sided cyc wall/end. The end itself will actually be split with a 4m cove being a white finish and the other side of the cove being used for chroma work. Other backdrops will be used and...

Hiya, I know it's been a long time but I wondered if you did happen to find any additional shots from that session? Cheers.

Cheers guys. I plan to blog the progress and post any lessons learned as I go along.

Thanks Garry. The IW is to be sized to work with the space around it, so at this stage its looking to be a 4x4m infini-corner type setup. Large enough to accommodate groups but not cars etc. Space to the side of it will be sufficiant for other backdrops or scenes to worked with.

Hi all, Well I've taken the plunge and signed a commercial lease on a lovely barn near my village. I'm using it as some office space for another of my companies but primarily it's going to be my photography studio. The shooting space will be about 9m x 7m with client area and office on top of...

Thanks mate, no rush, just be good to see what you have.

Hi JKP, nice images there. I was driving that track session actually in a Green Caterham Supersport along with my friend in a Blue Caterham Superlight. I don't suppose you have any images of us at all?
