We are located in a small co-op warehouse community. Near to us are a Tim Hortons and a Pub called Tidewaters.  They are all within a 15-minute walk, for when you just need to get out for some air.

A Lowes and Home depot are close-bye, and if you are need of cedar wood for your fence, the mill is just down the street.

Our address is Unit 2-8207 Swenson Way Delta at the base of the Alex Fraser Bridge. Contact us so we can show you around!  info@houseafirestudios.ca

Today we have small Fabric Green Screens that are great for all projects especially for making homemade videos, they are easy to setup and are portable. As well there are very large screens that are temporarily used in larger spaces and are very valuable for productions.  They can be brought in and setup on curtain tracks and be pulled around to used in the background. On the floor, fabric is not necessarily made to step on making it desirable to paint the floor. The larger the screen, the more time to setup, to major productions with healthy budgets this is fine.  The fabric green screens are most often used in temporary sets for film and television production.

A hard-green screen purpose built with cove and floor, takes time to construct, and once setup is not quickly torn down.  So, not so portable. And it is not the most cost effective to setup when a production is renting location for a short amount of time.

The benefits of this type of green screen is that it is not prone to wrinkles or tears, and if the surface is marred can be quickly touched up with paint. It is strong and able to take a little abuse and will last until dismantled. This type of permanent green screen is most often found in broadcast or photographic studios that have an on going use for them.

House-A-Fire Studios use Composite Components proprietary Digital Green®

Composite Components proprietary Digital Green® and Digital Blue™ paints are specially formulated to have the optimal color density, reflectivity and saturation for the cleanest possible composite. CCC paints have been Hollywood’s choice for twenty years, our materials have been used in productions like Life of Pi, Lucy and The Amazing Spiderman. Professional effects supervisors choose Composite Components because of our precise formula of dyes and pigments which yield a very specific color value in our paint. This patented Digital Green® color value blocks the reflection of red and blue light, yielding an extremely pure green that can be digitally extracted with cleaner edges and less foreground color distortion. In 1996 The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded us their Scientific and Engineering Academy Award for the technological achievement of developing the digital series of traveling matte backings, i.e. Digital Green® and Digital Blue™. CCC paint can drastically cut the time and expense of rotoscoping and color correcting the poor composites that result from with using low quality paint. Digital Green®, Digital Blue™ (for film), Digital Video Blue™ (for NTSC Broadcast Video), and Digital Red™ brand traveling matte paints are formulated to provide a close match to our fabric screens. Paint is available in one, two, and five gallon buckets. Digital Series™ paints are ideal for large stages or virtual sets and are often used to provide a matching floor surface to a vertically rigged screen.
