Last month, we added a seamless curve to our green screen stage where the wall meets the floor. This allows compositors to achieve a better-keyed background when shooting full body shots in our studio. Unlike the traditional cyclorama curve like on the white side of our Studio A, the green curve has a smaller radius. Since most green screens are lite evenly, the smaller curve is not harder to light, and it gives us more room on our stage. We had to put up the cation stanchions to help prevent crew from getting too close to the curve. Footprints on the cyc is a major "no-no" in all studios. Visit our studio and see all the new improvements and bring your next chroma key project to the Sacramento Media Center.

Power Center Studio A
We added 50 more amps to our power center in Studio A. Lance, Our certified electrician, did an excellent job upgrading our power grid, as well as making everything up to code. We also remodeled the power center for easy access. Our visiting lighting crews love the new layout. Not only is there plenty of power for most lighting scenarios, but we also added dimmer controls for creative adjustments with the scoops hanging from our lighting grid. Since most Studio rentals have unique lighting needs, we wanted to make the controls simple and easy to adjust. That's why you don't see an expensive dimmer board.

Preparing for music video shoot in Studio A
One of the benefits of working in a video studio rental facility is the never-ending supersizes you get when you walk through the doors. This week we had both studios film a music video, and the prop shop was hustling with a fury of activity. It always amazes me when I see our local talent craft and mold props and set pieces with masterful skill and finish just in time for the camera and talent to begin production. Even our resident prop maker Odin Abbott was busy creating Thor’s Stormbreaker Hammer from Avengers: Infinity War (check out his recent video). This is how a video studio should operate; skilled individuals making their craft so everyone can enjoy. It's even better when it burst at the seams, and our facility is where it happens. Does anyone need a hovercraft in your next film? We got one!
