Here is the plotting table that was a really cool piece but had very little air time or interaction, I so wanted to take this home aftre the show,,, Come to think of it, I don’t recall whatever happened to this piece,,, HMMMMMMMM ’tis a mystery. Anyway, this was really a great project to work on and Herman just said: make us a nifty table to have meetings at!!! The early ideas were of the same layout except the rounded table top had plotting rules and sliding scales that would be able to move and plot across the entire surface. The curved surface would be made of milk plex and the images would be projected from underneath so it would act like a big hands on cartographer’s mapping system. This was axed to be instead a clear covering with a flat screen system under glass, and the sliding scales were thought of as too out of date. The end result was beautifully built by Tom Arp’s crew and stylishly detailed by Mike Okuda and Anthony Fredrickson!!!

high view, these pictures were taken in the early days and you'll see variations in the set lighting from warm to cool as they were trying to get the right look and feel with the lighting tones

Mike and Jim's awesome work on the rear screen, this screen was in tandem to what was projected in the plotting table.
