Shhhhhh, it's the Secret Nuclear Bunker ;o) ........

We needed loads of images of the Secret Nuclear Bunker at Kelvedon Hatch near Brentwood and mentioned this to our client Elli who kindly arrange a visit.

It's a facinating place set in a woodland and hidden beneath a mock bungalow. Beneath this is a series of long tunnels and interconnecting rooms which are fully stocked with period artifacts such as a sick bay and BBC tv studio. Well worth a look :o)

Second client meet....

Ensuring the client is kept up to date with progress, the group met Elli Constantatou for an informal second meeting.

Date: 08/11/10 Time: 10:00 Location: Starbucks, High Chelmer.

Present: Elli Constantatou, Paul Frost, Gemma Patterson, Richard Olden.

Content of meeting:

The group explained to Elli that several other teams were using the rotating globe theme and asked if they could show her the new postcard theme.

Using the storyboard and 3DsMax models on a laptop, the group explained the new concept. Elli responded very positively to the proposal and was happy for us to proceed with it.

The group then informed Elli of how they arrived at their 'Top Ten' and taked her through each one.

The group will be modelling the Secret Nuclear Bunker in Kelvedon Hatch and Elli kindly offered to contact the owner on our behalf to arrange a visit.

Elli also explained that through her contacts she could help with interior layout details of the VAF which are not published on the internet.
