How to build an "Infinity Wall"
Jason Lee Parry and I just built an infinity wall in our place. An “Infinity wall” or “Cyc Wall” is a curved,
seamless wall and floor used as a backdrop. It’s used for creating an illusion of unlimited space or distance in the
background of exterior scenes or for obtaining lighting effects. Building an “Infinity wall” is kind of like building a
skate ramp except you can’t be as drunk. This is how you do it.: Draw up some very precise plans. Try to be as
accurate as possible as you can see by my plan here. Buy a bunch..

Saw some wood until until it fits.
You need to make the transitions kinda tight. Flex two layers of 1/4″ plywood into the transitions and screw it
down tight.

It sounds like you’re creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their
is a problem in the first place
