Results:Projections worked wellNeed better images as references

Future Plans:Model buildingGet better reference images

Schedule

this week- finish and refine recent prototype10.27- get visual images and ideas of outcome,refine prototypes

of changes of transitions11.3- research, prototype texturing, test11.10- prototype after effects possibilities, test11.17- prototype modeling, begin combining texturing, test11.24- prototype the best way - 2 models, or show the

progression12.1- prototype, mock up final idea12.8- work on mock up final idea

asap- meeting with SoBRO, architectural plans for the area.
