WHAT IS A CYCLORAMA
Cyclorama studios, also known as 'Infinity Cove Wall' or 'Cove Wall', are specialised spaces designed to create an illusion of a comprehensive background, with no visual barriers and a lack of visible corners. Cyclorama stages are traditionally built in white, though they can be coloured, such as green or blue for green or blue screen needs. Lighting is essential in order to add the perception of endlessness and connectedness between walls and floors or ceilings. Cycloramas enable editorial teams to get creative with their visuals without the restrictions of a standard studio's boundaries.

WHAT IS A CYCLORAMA (Infinity Cove Wall) STUDIO?
Cyclorama studio is where the stage suggests an infinite background and you can not see any corners or edges where the side or back walls meet the ground or the ceiling. This is achieved by the special way of stage construction which is also referred to as “Cove Wall” or “Infinity Wall” as well as getting help from lighting. This feature is used in order to create an illusion of endless background, seamless space, and no visual obstruction. Traditionally, the Cyclorama stage is built in the white, but you can paint the stage in any colour including green or blue for a perfect green screen or blue screen.

Tips for your video production team for green screen productions for VFX
Set up uniform lighting
If the green background is not a solid color, the software will have a hard time distinguishing darker greens from lighter ones.
When lighting your green screen, make sure the light is uniform and soft across the entire green screen.
To get the best results when setting up your green screen, be sure to use uniform lighting and avoid using bright lights that will overpower the background. Also, make sure to adjust the brightness of your lights so they are evenly exposed across the green screen. By doing this, you'll get accurate results and minimize any possible color discrepancies.
Have your subject wear contrasting colors

Don't wear green, because you will blend into the background and the Key will make the green clothing you are wearing disappear. Have your subject wear colors on the other side of the color wheel to avoid potential errors
Separate subject and background
To get the best results when filming a video or photo shoot, it is important to keep the subject and background separate. By separating the two elements, you eliminate the possibility of casting harsh shadows on the green screen. This will allow you to place lights behind your subject to illuminate the green screen background evenly. You'll also be able to capture clearer footage with less noise and distortion.
Use a small camera aperture
The lower the f-stop on your video camera, the shallower the depth of field.
With several feet of separation between your subject and the green screen, if your subject is in focus, the green screen appears softer in the background. Soft focus softens the green screen to blend it into a more uniform color.
Use a high shutter speed
Set your camera to a high shutter speed will prevent motion blur. If there is a lot of movement in front of your green screen - for example, an action sequence - make sure the shutter speed is higher, around 1/80 or 1/120.
Set the camera to a low ISO sensitivity
ISO is the sensitivity of your camera's film or digital sensor. It determines how much light your camera can capture, and affects the amount of noise (grain) in your images. The higher the ISO, the more noise you'll see in your image. However, high ISOs also allow you to capture images with wider dynamic ranges - that is, brighter highlights and darker shadows - which can be useful for photographs with a lot of detail or when shooting outdoors in low light conditions.

What to wear for a green screen shoot?
If you are shooting in a studio where a green screen will be used, make sure to avoid wearing green clothes because the technicians will remove the color and your clothes will disappear! Similarly, don't wear anything transparent or shiny, because the reflections will be colored by the green screen's glare. If this is the case, the reflections have to be removed in post-production manually by creating a mask around them. You should absolutely avoid white color, as it will become greenish by absorbing the reflections of light projected on the Green Screen.
