Notes: It’s been a while since I got my hands dirty with model-making - we have the pandemic to thank for that.

Overall analysis:
1) Light & shadow are most prominent when direct sunlight is available
2) Distance from cast-shadow pattern dependent on distance from light filter(grater) - i.e the closer the casted light shape to the grater = the lesser area spread over = more concentrated & defined
3) NYC light pollution
Adobe Aero - Couldn’t recognize horizontal surfaces inside the box (that would have been so sick), so I put it on top instead :/
Reflection/Improvements:
1) Installing the grater on the interior may improve light results
2) Use dark/non-reflective surfaces on the interior for better contrast to capture results.
3) Altitude & weather definite factors
