              The Sexiest Way To Build A Cyclorama Wall For Your Photo Studio

              If you have a large studio or perhaps even a small studio space in your home, chances are you have asked the question, “how in the world am I going to build a cyclorama wall?” Last year we shared with you a video on how to make a cyclorama wall done by Sam Robles. Well it seems Sam isn’t the only photographer handy with a few carpentry tools. Check out this, ahem, inspiring video by the good people over at EyeHandy which outlines each and every step needed to make a solid and sturdy cyc wall for your studio or in this case dining room. I love one youtuber’s comment, “after a while i stopped being aroused and started being amazed!” Happy summer time tool project!

                Don’t get me wrong, she was pretty amazing to watch, but after all that I really wish I could see more of what she built. One receding shot wasn’t all the informative.

                what’s not to see Jaron?  It’s just a wall with curved edges

                Power tools, semi-naked lady, slutty narrative and decent crack filling. How are you supposed to learn anything from this?! A 6* rating is needed :D

                Awesome! The cyclorama was cool too. :) 

                All kidding aside, that was a well laid out tutorial on how to build a cyclorama.

                Reminds me of George Lucas’s reminder for THX that 50% of the experience is aural… here, the voice was equally compelling as the visuals.

                I sure hope those were steel toed pumps she was wearing… gotta practice safe sets after all!

                It’s good to see she was using eye protection with the mitre saw to.

              • Gus Munoz

                She didn’t move a hair or even get dirty. I just can’t believe it ! Amazing !
