Hiring a green screen or cyclorama: what’s the difference?

Cyclorama, infinity wall and green screen explained, with examples of studios in the Netherlands you can hire for them.

Last updated: 7 November 2026

Cyclorama or infinity wall

A cyclorama (infinity wall, limbo) is a seamless curve from floor to wall, often white. That hides the horizon: useful for product photos, fashion and advertising. Studio Big Time lists a white infinity wall of 7.5 × 4.5 m. Filter for cyclorama.

Green screen or chroma key

A green screen is an even green (sometimes blue) background that you replace later. That needs even light and enough space so the subject is not too close to the cloth. Mirage3D publishes a large green screen with a cyc, Studio2Go has a small and a large green studio in Haarlem, and Green Screen Studio Utrecht a green cyc with a green floor.

Hiring white, green or blue

A white cyc is often the default; green or blue is listed separately or painted on request. Westerpark Studio states that the white cyc can also be made chroma-key blue or green. Desmet mentions blue key as well as green key, for example if the subject itself is green. Ask how long a colour change takes and whether that is included.

Frequently asked questions

Is every white wall a cyclorama?
No. A straight wall with a visible skirting board shows a horizon. A cyclorama has a curved transition into the floor, sometimes also into the ceiling.
May I walk on the green floor?
Often only with shoe covers. Mirage3D states that in its house rules, and charges for a repaint if the paint is damaged. Ask the studio for the rules before shoot day.
