Common Art III Final Delivery

As our final push I completely overhauled the lighting. I added two spotlights instead of one, so they follow both characters like real dancers. The spotlight colors are meant to complement the characters. They are all keyframed with fade in and fade out effects when the characters appear and disappear on the screen. I adjusted the global lighting so the spotlights shone brighter and removed unnecessary lights. I worked completely in engine and did not need to add new files.
