| I faced the same dilemma when designing my TNG observation lounge and VOY briefing room sets, the lighting changed from one appearance to the next and there was no consistency. My strategy was to just find one lighting scheme I liked and stick with it. In the case of the TNG lounge, the appearance from "These are the Voyages" seemed to be the best, muted without being too dark, lit without being too bright. For the VOY briefing room, the setup I'm going to run with when I rebuild it (I got the deck plans yesterday and my entire Deck 1 is wrong) is the setup from "Prime Factors" (the scene that ends with Torres telling Kim, "I just hope she gets it"). The launch bay isn't quite as hard since it's consistent from show to show even if it changes from season to season, so you've got it easier.
I DEFINITELY am interested in seeing more of your progress as you make it. :-) |
