The seam will always be less visible in front projection than in rear, as the eye is focusing just in front of the weld, whereas in rear projection the eye looks through the weld . The cyclorama is a background surface used in theatre, dance, television, and film to give the illusion of open sky or horizonless staging. Any time or place can be represented with a change in color or intensity, offering set and lighting designers a highly flexible design tool. It's easy to see why this is so. Vinyl screens are durable, easy to care for, and can be made up to 200 feet high, with no limit on width.
Educators especially appreciate the screen's ability to stand the test of new theatre students.
Once a mark gets on a muslin cyc, there is little to be done except spot cleaning. Vinyl screens can be wiped clean with mild detergent, and can be rolled on a batten for permanent storage. If a ladder or tool should happen to puncture the screen, Rosco is able to repair the screen, using our special ultrasonic welding process. While a muslin cyc can be sewn or cleaned, it will never be as smooth and clear as the day it was purchased. A vinyl cyc will provide years of service, provided it is properly cared for.
