It's finally finished! (I finished the other day, it took me less time than I thought, I still thought I had loads of things to do to it and fix, but it wasn't as much as I imagined!)
It's a pretty big weight off my shoulders, I'm feeling pretty good as I've now handed in my Maya project, and completed both the storyboard project & the Flash one, which are both in for this friday, which leaves me with two weeks to work just on the ident project.

Storyboard Project
I've been a busy little bee in the evenings and have managed to nearly complete our storyboard project, even though it's not due in for the 12th of March. I thought I'd get it out of the way so that I can focus on my Flash and 3D, which I know will take me a lot longer and be considerably harder because of my lack of skills. (Having said that though, I've just completed the second character's lip-sync, so I don't think I'm doing too badly, if you want to watch it, you can see it at my YouTube account, here. 3D, well I suck so bad, so let's not go there....)
We had to choose from 3 scripts to turn one into a storyboard, and so, (despite having never seen the TV program, or being any good at drawing cars...) I chose to do the 'Knightrider' script.
Derek said that it would be a good idea to familiarise ourselves with the script before attempting to storyboard, so I printed out the script and then drew all over the top of it as the ideas came to when reading through.
(They're probably massive previews, because my scanner likes to make things ludicrously big in its bid to kill those with a slow internet connection, so click on them for a full preview... if you dare!)
I realise now, after reading the brief again, that I need to go over my drawings in pen or something, though I'm quite tempted to leave them as they are, because I think pen might ruin them a bit. I love the blue animation pencil too much. But, here is the finished(ish) storyboards (edited so they should be a reasonable preview size... I hope):

Flash Project (WIP2)
Just a bit of an update, having been working on some of the background animation and have just completed the lip-sync for 'Kitty', so I thought I would post what i've done.I originally started with about 10 mouths, but realised I needed more.
I ended up with 16 mouths in total. I saved each under "mouth_" and then the corresponding sounds the mouth shape made, like so:

Flash Project (WIP1)
I've been working on the Flash project since I got back this afternoon, I haven't tried to do the lip-sync yet and have been struggling (and losing...) to the Classic Motion Guide, which is why my tests and what i've got so far are a bit jerky, but I quite like it like this but I think I will ask Andy when he gets back, or Dan, the King of Flash for help.
I've concentrated on getting the characters eyes, and I'm quite glad I decided to do this first, the eyes can help enhance the character and I think, with what I've got so far, that it's worked quite successfully with the dialogue.
I think my favourite bit is when the interviewer makes a comment and her eyes aren't really focused on them until she needs to answer.

Flash Project Planning.
I spent the majority of yesterday preparing for my Flash project, we have to take a 30-45 second sound clip from an interview with four students about various academic topics. I ended up choosing a segment where "Kitty" talks about her overuse of post-it notes for essay planning. I instantly had ideas spring into my head when I heard it, so decided that this would be the clip of audio for me.
I ended up kind of storyboarding (in a sense)and creating character design as I went along, and ended up with 4 pages of planning, as can be seen below (click for larger versions, which really are MASSIVE, and they've been edited so they're only 50% of the original size, my scanner ios trying to kill all with a slow internet connection!):
I then spent the rest of the afternoon/evening planning the symbols and layers I'd need. As my Flash skills are still considerably novice, I also decided I would try out a few of my ideas before I jumped straight into the final thing (which I would've started properly now instead of updating my blog, except it didn't want to import my soundclip. EVEN THOUGH it plays fine in Windows Media Player. *facepalm*).
