Is the length of A > B or is this an image illusion? If it is, non parallel walls are not a bad thing in a studio.

My New Studio Build (perhaps overly detailed)
- Thread starter silky smoove
- Start date
No illusion. Parallel lines will converge like this when the plane of the camera sensor is not parallel to the plane of the lines. It’s why buildings get smaller toward the top when photographed looking up or a road gets smaller in the distance. In the case of Sliky’s studio, the camera was aimed downward. (Sorry for the photography geek derail.)
Do you know of any cameras that auto detect this within the depth of focus and alert you. That would be a nifty feature.

I’m not aware of any cameras that can do this automatically. Might be out there — but it’s not something I’d want (converging parallels can be a nice effect), so I have not looked into it. Large-format (4x5 or 8x10) cameras allow the photographer to manually tilt and shift the lens and film/sensor plane. And there are DSLR lenses that can do this, again manually. It also can be corrected in Photoshop.
That’s something else, having to do with objects appearing to change position relative to each other when the observer moves. Converging parallel lines is the vanishing point of a long straight road on the horizon — but with buildings it’s incomplete.
So was Vanishing Point.Good movie!

When I did my caulking I just committed to 2-4 tubes per night after work. Spent an hour or so each night and took the weekends off.
I used green glues sealant. The only difference is I sealed everything after the first layer of rock and then did it again after the second layer.
I skipped that step. The Green Glue literature indicated that if you stagger/offset the seams of the panels between the first and second layer that using sealant at that stage isn't necessary. I did seal the middle leaf on my ceiling and then did a super rough job of mudding it, but that has more to do with blocking the eave and ridge ventilation from the middle leaf and negating its function.
I finished all of the sealant tonight. Tomorrow I’ll finish emptying out the building and do one last round of sweeping. After that I’m in a holding pattern until the drywall contractor gets done with the mud, tape and texture. I’ll be placing an order for the sound door and threshold tomorrow as well.
One drywall contractor coming out tomorrow to prepare a quote. Waiting from one, and playing phone tag with another.
Overly doors aren't around due to Independence Day and I'm waiting for a return phone call from them.
It's odd not having anything to do in the studio over the weekend.

I'm considering a few things for paint, but remember that it's not just the walls. I have to consider the walls, the trim, the floor, the ceiling, the light fixtures, the electrical switch plates, the door hardware, the door itself, the acoustic treatment veneers, the acoustic treatment fabric... It's a mess.
I've got a few concepts, but I'm holding off posting any of them so as not to start designing by committee
