„How to build your own Photo Video Studio on a large budget in a big space if you are a carpenter.“ I need to know how to do this in my kitchen for 25$.
This is really cool guys. Thanks for making content like this. High quality, entertaining, and very useful. Definitely referencing this guide in the near future (fingers crossed).
What a brilliant video! As I'm turning my garage into a studio, I downloaded the plans you provided. Will definitely give it a go. Thanks a lot from the other side of the globe!
Unfortunately you're right... with COVID, lumber prices have definitely gone up since we made this! But check out the plans in the description - we also made a version that sits up directly to existing drywall walls saving a bunch of lumber cost :)
Thanks guys, class stuff. Is it difficult to keep the painted floor clean during model shoots and, if so, how do you clean it after? I shoot on paper or sometimes Perspex, both of which get dirty easily. I’m hoping this approach is easier to keep clean?
Sorry we didn't get back to you David! We usually do a repaint before big shoots as unfortunately the surface always gets a bit scuffed up and dirty - this is pretty common for commercial studios.
What did you use for your floor and how did you ensure a smooth transition from the curve to the ground? Did you paint the cement or did you use some other flooring material?
Hey Brad! With the two sheets of MDF, there was a pretty small gap between the cement floor and curve. We filled this with Bog/Builders fill (the name varies from country to country) and sanded it smooth. As we had a pretty perfect cement floor with no rough areas, joins or visible cracks, we painted this directly.
Hey Tarik! We tend to repaint our Cyc every 4-6 months but most pro studios will do this fam more regularly as stands, shoes and gear will scuff up the floor surface pretty quickly
I mean, it looks amazing, but isn't that just how it would be fitted out regularly? I thought it was going to be with paper or something someone can recreate in their spare room..
Hey Brad! You're right, this is a professional studio but we did cut a lot of costs by 1. Building it ourselves 2. Not using expensive vacuum formed or fiber glass curves 3. Using materials anyone can find at their local hardware store Paper backgrounds are totally a viable option though if you don't have the time or budget
can you tell me what you did to achieve a perfectly flat floor from the finishing point of the ribs? Did you use some sort of ply to overboard the whole floor and achieve a flat finish?
Hey Zenfora! We already had a flat and smooth concrete floor in this space so all we needed to do was paint it a matte white. I'd suggest against using ply for the floor as it may bounce or sag if not properly supported
I’m few days away from finishing our studio... i’m planning to use 5mm plywood for the curve instead of MDF... i’m a little worried that mdf could loose it’s shape or “swell?” Over time... do you think that plywood will also work? Thanks for inspiration guys. Well done work!
With the ply you will want to just make sure it can bend enough. MDF is used because it is incredibly stable, uniform and doesn't swell if there is no moisture problem. This is why we used it and it still in pretty good shape after a lot of heavy use.
Hey Toni! Realistically, we'd probably just make a wider 1 wall cyc as a hugely disproportionate amount of time was spent on getting those 3-way curves correct.
As a designer, photographer, and future architect - this is why I went with Syrp for My motion control needs. Precision is necessary for both, Timelapse photography and architectural design. This is totally evident here. I’m such a huge fan of this brand, and happy to be the owner of Syrp’s latest Genie II Linear and Genie Mini II. Thank you for inspiring me to push my creative boundaries in BOTH, photography and architectural design. Can’t wait to keep up with everything you all are creating - products and content!
Hey Morten! Since building the studio, we've done a sound treatment by making some large acoustic panels that remove almost any echo - we may have to do a video on this too!
Wow watched the video till the end thinking you guys have like 500k subscribes but then I was surprised to see you only have 37k! Definitely deserve more tho, so I subscribed! Keep up the great Content! 👍🏼
Whao, l love this. I'm always moved with creative mind like you. I'm also good in creative work, but lack of tools / gear's. Can I join your team for more training and also work with you? Thanks for consider me.
So awesome! Always inspirational to see builds like this because I've wanted one ever since we got serious about photography. Definitely going in the next house 👊 Too bad about sacrificing the skateboarding aspect of it. Even though I didn't stick with it long enough as a kid to be good at it, I would definitely try again if/when we have a cyc 🤙
What software did you use to design that?? And what 3d software did you use for the animation showing the studs and the drywall, it looks like ray tracing lighting. Amazing job guys 👍
Yes - the shape and hard surfaces definitely caused some initial issues but we've done a sound treatment by making some large acoustic panels from sound insulation. When placed correctly, these remove almost all echo
The echo is a huge problem with cycs! We ended up making ten 1.2 x 2.4m acoustic absorbers which removed the echo completely. You can see some attached to the roof at 6:12.

*wait wait wait* I have to rewatch the video 😍 yo this is so great
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the highest quality video possible on youtube
Thanks Medok!
I'm really liking the 3d animation !!! Top notch production
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
@Mr snimarr Hey Mr Snimarr - we use Blender for our previs and animations
Thank you guys for sharing. And educating. And for passing it along. Wish you all the best.
awesome studio!!
Thanks iko!
Wow this is iconic 🙌 fair play I expect a catio next please Matt 😉
Amazing construcutre ✅ great work and video
Fascinating! I don’t know when I’ll be building a cyc but I’ll surely download the guide just in case 😂
Amazing wow I want to one in future😆🤪😎🤩🤓
Wow just wow
Why knowledge of how to use autodesk and having general engineering skills is good for photographers and cinematographers to have.
This is amazing man!
That’s awesome!
Well done boys
Thanks Joshua!
Woooow its amazing!!!!
Very cool. Well done!
Thanks Cinamaker!
amazing!
What wonderful work ! Would it be possible to purchase your plan?
based on the current price of lumber this would now easily cost $10,000.... but killer studio!

Looks so good! How high are the ceilings in that room?
Glad you think so Jacob! They're roughly 4m high in the basement space
@@SyrpLab Thank you!
Thanks great project. Do you have any idea on the radius of vertical corner? Thanks
Hey Henry! We used a Radius of 410mm - download the plans from the link in the description for full measurements

How about a 6 x 9 feet space, can you build a similar Cyclorama?
Sounds a bit on the small side unfortunately. You might be better off with a white paper roll from Savage or Colorama
Great tutorial. Can you tell us how easy is to maintain white color? Do you just repaint with super white matt color?
Hey Tarik! We tend to repaint our Cyc every 4-6 months but most pro studios will do this fam more regularly as stands, shoes and gear will scuff up the floor surface pretty quickly

Thanks but no sound
How would you do the corners if not a compound curve like you showed? Is there an easier way?
Hey Toni! Realistically, we'd probably just make a wider 1 wall cyc as a hugely disproportionate amount of time was spent on getting those 3-way curves correct.
Appreciate the work they put in but this is totally over engineered. I did a similar job with hardboard and some old wood cutoffs
wat type of paint is that ?
Hey Jagan - we used flat white ceiling paint for the most matte result
Off topic but what type of tshirt is he wearing at 3:44? Thanks!!
I’m wondering that too!!
they can build noahs arc lad
Bro cloud please tell name of the software use to demonstrate how build studio I wand to make nice bedrooms for my girl birthday if could help out bro
Hey Adelino - for the previs, we used blender. When it came to actually designing the structural elements, we used Solid Works
Could you pls tell me the studio area? I have a 500sq ft space 20 x 30.
space is about 50 square meters
Who thought it was a good idea to optimise a photo studio for skateboarding?
How much did it all cost?
Hey Stephan! It came in just under our $5k Budget

Hi Jon, So good to hear your feedback and thanks for supporting us!
Great video. I am building my cyc wall straight from your plans. How tall is your wall? I’m thinking about making mines 16’ tall.
This is wicked. Well done gents!
Thanks Caleb!

Turned out really good! Getting the curves right seems like a lot of work. Did you do anything for sound quality, or is this only for product shots?
Hey Morten! Since building the studio, we've done a sound treatment by making some large acoustic panels that remove almost any echo - we may have to do a video on this too!
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for showing this build 🙌🏼
I had completely forgotten that kiwis call drywall "jib" board until now.
I was trying to make that out the whole time! We say gips (ji-ps) in Sweden and to me it sounded the same 😀👍
Ohhhh, I thought it was "gyp" as in gypsum, the stuff that drywall is made from
was that bit about wanting to skateboard on it a joke?
Silly question but... why is most of the wood pink? Is it a fire-retardant treatment or something?
It's something I've never seen in the UK...
Freakin incredible, awesome studio! Thank you for sharing your process and the hard work that went into bringing it to life. This was very inspiring.
You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge with me and the guide. I appreciate you guys and Godspeed on your journey!
I saw "budget" in the title so I clicked.
...for 5000 dollars...
That is not my notion of budget.
Great project.
A little more ambitious that I'm looking for but I enjoyed the build. (:
I really enjoyed watching this! amazing video, hopefully I will have my own studio some day.

couldn't watch bc of sound.... you should take care of your volumes!
With regard to maintenance, do you find you have to repaint the floor every time it’s used?
More of these please! super inspirational for my own space.
So THIS just got added to my 3 year plan...
very good content and videography but the audio is bit annoying hop you improve

Woah what a project, good job guys, tricky one to pull off👍
Thanks so much Scott! That's high praise coming from you
including a free download?! AWESOME!!!
Lovely work guys and good idea to sack off the skate boarding, much better with the extra space!
Your graphics are like a symphony....
Where did you get the plans for your cyclorama. How did you determine the size and measurements for the curved edges ? Looks great
2 Years ago, I watched this. I forgot the Like. Sorry.
Very good
What was the size of the studio space you were working with?
why don't you use steel for these things rather than wood
Sounds like no.8 kiwi aye lol
Always
What a great project. Thanks, guys!
Hei guys , can i still have the access of the full Plan ? I tried with the link , but not working anymore... thank you ! :)
Sorry Pasca! The link should be fixed now
Thanks for this video i was planning to build a studio but not getting ideas this helps me alot.
new subs here, i hope that we can duplicate this studio !keep inspiring
Nice work! What is the design software you use?
Hey! We designed the studio parts using Solidworks & did the previsualizations in Blender
So awesome! Always inspirational to see builds like this because I've wanted one ever since we got serious about photography. Definitely going in the next house 👊 Too bad about sacrificing the skateboarding aspect of it. Even though I didn't stick with it long enough as a kid to be good at it, I would definitely try again if/when we have a cyc 🤙
Ridiculously cool to stumble across an awesome channel and then discover it's run by some fellow kiwi's!!! Great stuff:)
What's the ceiling height? got curious. 14ft?

What software did you use to design that?? And what 3d software did you use for the animation showing the studs and the drywall, it looks like ray tracing lighting. Amazing job guys 👍
Hey Jean! We used Solid Works for design & the previs renders were done in Blender. Thanks!
How many diagram pls pls god bless you
yeah the bunnings warehouse
Love a Bunnings run. Can I ask what did you use to create your animation?
heyo! All the 3D animations were done in Blender
How high of a ceiling is needed
I own such a studio in my city and I'm very proud about it.
Gonna try this! Just wondering if you found all the wood to be quite echo-y, and if you've found a solution?
