Our process works as follows:

1.

We create and set up your studio with the Scene Machine Universal advanced projector. The Universal is the most full featured multi-functional Virtual Backgrounds projector made. It is designed to work with top quality professional cameras, both digital and film. The Scene Machine Universal includes every conceivable adjustment that enables the photographer to have maximum control. This combined with Ultra Projection Screens allows this universally new and unique technology to be captured (the latest and greatest contribution to the portrait photography world).

We offer our clients a wide variety of backdrops to suite their needs, that includes the option of providing a custom created theme (given that enough time is provided) and our existing portfolio does not comply.
 

2.

We set up two printing stations.
 

3.

We then take digital photographs with the background your theme deserves.
 

4.

The images are automatically downloaded at the 2 printing stations with our state of the art software, ready for re-mastering.
 

5.

We then digitally enhance the photos and put on text like "Yearend function" or a logo (what ever you need) and print the photos out on our professional printers.
 

6.

After the event we post all the photographs on our website and students can then view, order and email the photographs from the website for free.

Why go for ultra advanced digital backgrounds?

Technology

•

Creating Virtual Backgrounds is made possible with the Scene Machine and Spectravue projection system. It involves taking any ordinary transparency or slide and inserting it into the projector. Making use of a beam splitter glass and specially coated, retro-reflective screen, the image is projected behind the subject. The image is flashed simultaneously with the studio strobes used to light the subject(s), thus creating a backdrop during the exposure.
 

Advances

•

Any imaginable scene can be used, including indoor, outdoor, canvas, graphics, and much more. Creating the perfect and desired theme has never been more possible.
 

•

Setting up a studio can be done in a matter of minutes. No additional arrangements with regards to heavy props and big un-manageable backdrops.
 

•

Space efficient, neat and tidy.
 

•

Creating an individual personalised theme, giving u the unique opportunity to add that special touch.
 

•

Providing a more vibrant, creative and not to mention technologically advanced product to you and your client. Making your event a social highlight, one to be remembered.
