We are considering a property for a new project studio....an existing commercial soundstage....with 15.5 ft. ceilings and over 2800 sq. ft. It has a curved cyc wall, 20 ft. wide and 45 ft long.
A cyc wall, also known as a cyclorama wall, is a curved wall mostly used as a backdrop for photography and video shoots. A cyclorama wall allows for consistent and seamless background transitions, which creates a smoother shooting experience.
Our intention is to incorporate this existing cyc wall into one of the live rooms to give an added option for music video production. Should we be concerned with any issues or problems when tracing in such a space, due to curved wall?
Below is a drawing of existing soundstage as well as planned recording studio layout:

Another possible layout…
Another possible layout....isolating control room bit better as not putting it backing onto a laneway (though not ever overly busy laneway). Back of the control room is a storage area.
OR maybe this one:
With regard to constant painting of cyc walls I think a better idea is to use white, blue and chroma-key green screens on the wall instead of continual painting.
