More Studio Thoughts

Over on the tech page, I ahve outlined my studio aspirations.

I dont want much :).

I would like small space to feel infinately large, to have a brilliant light spac eor dark and moody one and i, knowing me, have to accomodate my many moods when it comes to colour and texture.

All in an 8x10’ space?

Wall colour has become critical (I am writing this while putting off the first strokes of white paint).

My thinking is this;

If my backdrop can be basically any colour based on a white and grey roll of paper/vinyl/cloth and C1 processing, gels or RGB LED’s, then I can create on that wall any mood. Texture is another matter, but I have other plans there involving separate panels.

If I then have a white wall on the right side and a dark (green/grey/blue?) wall on the left side, then all I have to do is modify one or the other to get a solid light or dark environment. For the right wall I have a 12’ Neewer black background cloth and for the left I have a selection of white cloth or panel reflectors.

The respective sides. The window light starts low right, moving up to the left by mid morning, so the white right wall will catch it.

If I am using both as painted, then one becomes the fill wall, the other, the negative fill wall.

Conversely, if I paint the whole room one colour (shade), then I will have problems when i want the opposite effect, needing to fill it all with white or black panels.

Ok, time to paint.
