Today we found out that we had some serious problems to work out.

Problem 1: The lights flash way after the strike appears

This just looks silly.

Problem 2: The projector cannot broadcast from the ceiling

This was a problem that at least had an easy, dirty solution. We broadcasted the image backwards on the screen and set windows to display the image backward. 

Problem 3: Not enough lightning strikes

We only have five lightning strikes thus far, which isn’t going to cut it for the actual piece. Greg and I have to put together at least double that.

Problem 4: Backwards projector = backwards controls

The projector being backwards on the screen meant that we no longer had access to the controls. I came up with the solution of just using a screw driver underneath as a switch over the on button — as that’s the only control we really needed.
