Help With Seamless Wall (contains nudity)

[Sensei125]

Sorry for the nudity in this image. It was the only one I've been able to find that shows the basic type of wall I'd like to build.

I'd like to build a seamless wall along these lines. Does anyone know how it's done????

I'm looking to build it in my basement along one wall and around a corner.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Takes a lot of drywall work to get a curve in a wall. I suggest you contact a carpenter.

as gofor said dry wall or we call gyprock here in aus, i actually went to a studio being built recently and noticed thats what they do, think of the cornice like this but on a larger scale

all you would need to do is build a wooden frame to support the curve and allign it to the upright wall then drywall/gyprock the entire thing and where it meets the ground use plaster i would imagine, but best to speak to an expert

It looks like far too much work to me. Give me a 10-15 foot wall, a set of autopoles and a roll of white seamless and I'm good to go. Add a sheet of plexi and plywood and you'll never see a dark spot or seam. Those cyc walls are pretty, but not very good for anything other than white.

Very useful for many types of photography, but people not so much I guess... paper rolls will do what you need 90% of the time..

Chris-

Unless you specifically need a seamless corner, this is way overkill, inflexible, and 10X the price of paper/fabric backgrounds for people pics. White backgrounds are created with stobe lights. Angled corner studios are only really used for large product pics like cars. Metal or metalic finish walls would be far more useful.

This place sells components for construction of studio walls, it's called a cyclorama if you want to google more ideas.

Personally, I would stick with a paper roll. Either that or get handy with plaster and some old sheets.

If you mix plaster and rub it into the fabric of some cotton sheets then place it over a form then keep layering until you have 1/8th inch thickness you'll get some nice curves. It is work but it's cheaper than buying special shaped boards etc. That studio looks to be horribly expensive. Anyway, after putting your plasterboard and curved forms into place and securing the firmly you'll need to run over the whole lot with plaster and then paint it white. Then you'll havethe perfect studio. Or - you cold use a roll of paper or even a California-King bed-sheet.

I've done a bit of plastering. I would say thats a timber frame with plasterboard on the uprights, curved sections would be plywood archformers covered with eml (expanded metal lathe). Walls plastered first, then the archformers with a curved trowel. Sanded and then painted. 2-3 days work start to finish. I would cost materials at about £200.

I think its great and a lot cheaper than what most people think.
