The entire project including the website, graphics, commercial and animation took up almost the entire 4ht quarter.

During the practice round of presenting the only feed back I was given was to add music during parts of the commercial that were too quite. I added the music that my team wanted for the commercial and added details that were suggested to our website such as our product functions. Looking back I think I could have done better with the comm...
