Final episode (sort of)

We thought we had finished the episode so saved everything and went for a quick pint to celebrate. However after receiving feedback we were asked to make some small changes to the episode. Bit of a kick up the harris but it has to be done and the feedback was spot on.

Finally, it needed clearer fades in-between days to clarify that they were to divide the days.

If a man with the mind of a 5 year old enjoyed it, surely a real one would!

And here is the data, in video form, Joe 'Researching' the product.
When you are advertising to children you have to live in there world, they dont look at/care about billboards. Lollys act as a great medium to advertising, with great connotations of happiness and enjoyment. If its good enough for Ice Age...
