John Summers Desk Scene
   
   
   
 Secret Agent Man 
Inspiration

I recently watched Matrix for the first time in at least a year, and liked the multiple computer screens, so I used that for my desk scene. I wanted to take a little bit of a 00 agent feeling to it because I’ve always enjoyed watching James Bond movies and the idea just popped into my head instantly. And I was a little curious as to how I would be able to pull it together.

Problems and Solutions

P1: Since I have a different version of Lightwave at home, the options are a little different from what we learned in class, which took me a while to do some things.
 
S1: Just took the time to look and search for the differences and was able to start completing things quicker.
 
P2: I had trouble with the intensity of the lights, wanted to make sure that the whole scene could be viewed without great difficulty.
 
S2: Just with taking the time to play around with the intensities and positions of the lights, I was able to figure out the better spots for me to position them.
