The third of the 26 state-of-the-art purpose-built sound stages that will be on our Studio Lot will be our Charlie Stage. Our Charlie Stage will be another one of our mega sound stages with over 50,000 square feet of production space. The Charlie Stage is our permanent Cyc Stage.
The Charlie Stage will be 300’ long by 175’ wide with a grid height of 45’. There will be 3 bay doors, each 25’ high and 24’ wide. The Charlie Stage will also have 3 power cans, 9600 AMPs with 120/240 Volts and 9 circuits. The floor is wood over concrete.
The Charlie Stage is our permanent Cyc Stage. What’s a Cyc Stage? A Cyc or Cyclorama is a panoramic wall that is curved to give the illusion of a large space. The also has no hard angles, making it easier to light. You’ve seen this kind of wall in music videos and car commercials. The wall is usually white, digital green or digital blue, though it can be any color needed.
The Cyc on our Charlie Stage will be free standing so the crew can work behind the wall to help with light rigging. The Cyc will be around the entire stage perimeter with a center section open along each wall. The open section can be filled in with movable Cyc wall sections to give a smooth uninterrupted wall if needed for filming.
Our Cyc wall can be painted any color needed. The standing color of the Cyc is white, which will be repainted after every use of the stage.
The Charlie Stage will be able to accommodate any set that needs to have any kind of background replacement without the restriction of shooting on a small Cyc wall.
Below are some examples of cyc walls.
