The 3D wall panel is a new type of 3D stage backdrop which consists of panels. The 3D wall panels are made from aluminum strips and PVC, with each strip composed of multiple colors. Typical backdrops are created by printing photos or graphics on fabric, while 3D backdrops can be designed in any way, depending on imagination.
3D stage backdrop has many benefits over typical fabric photo or graphic printed backdrops because the panels can be assembled to fit the scene. You don’t have to worry about fabric wrinkles or creases when transporting them to a show you’re performing. Fabric back postures take up much more space than the lightweight aluminum 3D panels, making assembly time faster and easier.
3D backdrops have common materials and manufacturing processes, allowing fast delivery, easy assembly, inexpensive setup, and low maintenance costs.
Although most theatrical uses of 3D backdrops are for larger exhibit areas, they can still be used at smaller venues if combined with a fabric backdrop (with or without printed graphics). They are often used to create an illusion of different spaces in a small arena or stage where both sides of the stage will not be visible to each spectator. There are many 3D backdrops to choose from, but they all consist of panels installed by the users.
Two-sided metal panels are the most common type of 3D backdrop, and they can be set up with 1, 2, or 3 panels on one side (as long as there is enough space to install them). The setup is completed in minutes, and when there’s room, more panels can be added to create a scene that resembles a window with a vista-like view outside.
3D backdrops are very flexible and versatile; they can be used in many different ways, such as stage backdrops, wall panels for interior design projects, photo backdrops for wedding photo shoots, etc. They can be reused for a long time if you take care of them properly.
When creating realistic 3D backdrops for your show, choosing the right color for the panels is essential. Only black and white metals are available for purchase, and the remaining colors are created by painting. The most popular paint colors are blue, grey, red, green, and brown. It’s recommended not to get too creative with your choices because if you make them too bold, they will draw too much attention, which might ruin the illusion, so keep it simple.
Lighting is another essential factor that needs your attention when designing a show or theatrical production. You can use a single light in the back with a diffuser to create pools of light, but it’s essential to have enough overhead lights around the entire set or stage with different angles. For example, if you make a scene/illusion that resembles an office where you’re sitting at your desk working (like in Back to the Future), do not forget to install mirrors on the ceiling above your head so it will look like you’re working.
The curtain is also an essential part of any show because it can be used for many different purposes, such as creating walls, backgrounds, and special effects.
