Update

So after trying to work on our advert the past couple of weeks and not really getting very far, Amy and I have decided to scrap the Flash Animation because we dont really know how to use the software properly, therefore its taking us far too long and we will end up at the deadline with nothing done.
Instead, we are going to hand-draw the characters and make them out of paper and make a stop-frame animation since I know how to do this quite well. I made a 30sec animation about a magician which took me a couple of hours so I think this would be a much better alternative for our adverts and help us meet the deadlines.
It will also tie in with our brand name for the shampoo, "Simply Shampoo" because stop-frame would look simpler than Flash animation.

In the coming week, I am going to make all the paper characters and objects for one of our ads and I'm planning to make the animation using a camera connected to a Mac and using the software, Frame by Frame. While I am doing this, Amy is going to find the appropriate music and get the narration recorded so that hopefully, if all goes to plan, we will have one Ad complete within the next 2 weeks or so.
