| | Inspiration
The inspiration for this project came a couple of months ago when I was looking to create a store. Not just any store, but something truly innovative and amazing. I realized that the coffee shops have sent a wave of culture throughout America and has set a new trend in getting a quick drink. I wanted a store that would draw people, something that would captivate their attention, but also would be a place where they could build relationship with their friends.
Then new idea popped into my head, “Why not a media lounge.” A store where people could hang out, but be entertained by media. That’s why the store that I replicated from my imagination has plasma screens that can interact with their audience. These screens would play underground media, documentaries and music video from all over the world. I would create a network through the web where anyone could just upload their video from anywhere onto the media lounge network.
It’s just an idea so I wanted to build it, and that’s what I did.

| | Problems and Solutions
There are few problems I ran into on this project, but one of the most frustrating problems I ran into was saving the position of my cameras and lights in layout. I did not save the positions before saving the scene and when I went to open the scene none of the lights of objects had been saved. I had to start all over again.
Another problem I ran into, and later solved, was finding the right way to render an object. There are so many options, but I found that putting all the lighting options on takes way too long to render, I spend four hours trying to render glass. I ended up aborting and rendering the glass with less light options.
I learned that I could change the different camera shot sizes by going into camera options in lightwave.

| | Time Frame
About 60 hours to create the objects and put them into lightwave.
About 5 hours placing the lights and running tests.
About 6 hours to render with glass.
About 12 minutes to render without glass.
