General Synopsis:

After Monday's presentation, I asked to play around with the edit and see if I could help get the timing tightened up. Our team ending up loving it and locking in the timing (new edit below). I worked on my shots: cleaning keys, following feedback, fixing lighting, and cleaning coloring. I also worked on completing the 'Friends' kitchen clean plate.
