C-PLANET REVISIONS 11/20

REDUCED C-PLANET GROUND PLAN
11/15/98

The client enters from the Operation Bug room into a coridor lit by non-neon rope lights. The Entry way is lined by bvouncing balls. The diagonal room plan will reinforce the energy and motion of the C-Planet product line. I envision the room being lit with UV light. There is another Ball Wall just before the exit. Non-neon rope lights line the pathway through the space. The Display Tables are either light tables which look like the "space building" in the TV commercial or they can be large size circuit board resistors, etc. The walls are lighted from behind as light boxes with circuits flashing. There is a "boy looking into the room" light box screen as you enter the space. The Air Mech refers to the necessary machinery for the hanging pneumatic tubes which shoot UV painted "nerf" balls overhead. Sound effects support the balls. The straight tubes contain the balls as they shot to one end through suction where they are then stored the the direction reversed to send them back. There are six clear tubes.

ENTRY INTO THE C-PLANET PRODUCT ROOM
11/15/98

Signage and doorframe lined with non-neon rope lights. The entry way is lined with clear plexiglass containing dozens of flourscent colored "nerf" balls. The balls bounce vertically as if they were in a lotto selection machine. Air jets shot the balls in the air randomly. The effect is to duplicate the high energy style of the C-Planet product line.

INSIDE THE C-PLANET ROOM

11/15/98

Refer to the description of the Ground Plan for specifics in this room. Also, note the large character balls which are hung in the air. They would hover over the various product display tables.
