Grinding Hard into 2020

To kick this year off right, we grinded down layer upon layer of 2019’s paint on our studio floor.  Memories of past productions rose to the surface with a coat of chromakey green here and a coat of digicomp blue there.

If you’ve ever worked at a film studio with a cyc wall, you probably understand just how much paint is needed to keep scenes fresh and clean on camera.  Normally, we use a flat, non-glossy white, but if the creative calls for color, it takes multiple coats to make it look right on the monitor.  Letting those layers build-up over time can affect the transitions where the floor meets the cyc. Eventually, they start to lose their seamlessness, hence the annual grinding.

When it was all said and done, we responsibly disposed of 500 pounds of dried paint powder with our local recycling program. Van Gogh became a painter because he didn’t have an ear for music, but at Cine Rent West, we paint to make your project come to life!
