Barrandov Stage Number 1
This soundproof stage, measuring 640 square meters, is appropriate for shooting commercials or smaller film projects. It offers all the advantages of bridges and stage elevators. A winch system allows counterweights and sets to be suspended. The wooden floor is appropriate for mounting sets.
A textile key backdrop system, or green screen, has been installed on Stage No. 1 in order to satisfy shooting requirements. With its dimensions (10m/32,8 ft high, 17m/55,8 ft wide and 11m/36,1 ft deep), it is one of the largest permanently installed green screens in the Czech Republic. The green screen is available in several color options – green, blue, white, or black. A color change of the vertical backdrop can be made very quickly, which means that keying against different color backgrounds can be accomplished over the course of shooting without significant time losses. The vertical section can be stretched into a “U” shape or an “L” shape (32m/105 ft by 5m/16,4 ft) along the longer wall of the stage. It moves independently using a trolley system. The green screen is not permanently attached to the floor, thus it is possible to fold and remove individual sections. As a result, the entire area of the stage can be made available if required.
The stage’s auxiliary facilities include a large entry gate that enables the manipulation of technical equipment, the delivery of sets, and the entry of automobiles. The stage is also equipped with a high-quality technical area (known as the “preparation area”), which is designated primarily for set handling.
