Toho special effects stage flow

特撮ステージは、No 4・No 8・No 9・No 11がよく使用される。天井が一番高いNo 11は、ホリゾントが高いため特撮専用になっていたが〝東宝日曜大工セ ンター〟になった為に、現在は面積の広い No 8 • No 9が中心に使用されている。ホリゾントはNo 11に比べ、2m程低い。

No. 4, No. 8, No. 9, and No. 11 are often used for special effects stages. No. 11, which has the highest ceiling, was used exclusively for special effects due to its high horizon, but now it is mainly used for No. 8 and No. 9, which have a large area, because it became the “Toho DIY Center.” Cyclorama (theater)​ is about 2m lower than No.11.

Cyclorama is from German “Horizont.” A cyclorama is a large curtain or wall, often concave, positioned at the back of the stage area. It was popularized in the German theater of the 19th century and continues in common usage today in theaters throughout the world. (Source: Jisho.org)
