I stayed late and came in really early to do the editing because we didn't have enough time to mess with.
When Chris got in with the voice over it worked really well and we went on a site Darrell told us about to get free music that isn't copyright for our animation we found a piece of soft music that fit our animation not only in movement but also it intertwined with the voice over and gave it a real feeling of being an advert. Chris worked on the editing the sound by fading it in and out also adding titles over the top showing the lush logo.

Animation
It was a very close call for us in this project I found because me and Chris are very opposite that we found it hard to connect on the same level, the only thing that worked with our relationship is that we both liked each others ideas and that helped us not waste time on the making of the project. We both had loads of work to do and Chris did fall very behind which made it harder for me because I do like time keeping and he was very laid back. But it was hard to work with Chris because I was relaying on him when I finished my part to complete the project.
It got to the last day and I took the butterfly and bubble animation of his case because he couldn't do both. But when it got the the day before hand in, he hadn't finished his character so when he did we only had a day to animate and render.
In the end I ending up having a hand in everything starting from what my job was to bailing out Chris with doing the animation, by the end we both animated the character together. Chris animated her walking into the hotel room and I animated her from picking up the soap in the bathroom to the end of the advert.
the animation wasn't brilliant because it was done in a day also Chris didn't have time to weight the character so the women hands and walk cycle look really blocky only because it was hard to animate a character with it being not perfect. but we both tried.
What I would have changed:
In the end I would like to point out that Chis did work hard but I felt I did too much and it was like my own project. the only thing that was good is I did what I wanted and that was the environments and texture them, even though Chris did make her walk pasted the bedroom, I worked hard on the lighting in the room so it was a shame it didn't get shown so if I could change things I would have come in early and animate another walk cycle and had her walking across the hall past the bedroom, also I didn't know that Chris was helping someone else with another project so more communication is needed. I would have started the character earlier and had at least two weeks to animate. The only good thing about this project is Chris helped me out by falling behind because it gave me a chance to do more animation and build up my skills.
