Animatic v1 & Maya


Animatic for Maya Project:
Ok so this was my first concept animatic for the current Maya project we were given. The important factors we needed in the storyboards and in the final run is the change of emotion, lip sync to speech and an entrance and exit for the character rig Norman.
This was a bit fiddly to do, never having used Flash before it did come as a bit of a pain to figure out and do, I think at one point I had spent a good part of 3 or 4 days messing the first couple of attempts up. I'm about 2 seconds over the limit of 30 secs, but I'm hoping to edit and cut back the frames as I can see that 3 or 4 scenes last a bit too long.
None the less is what good to see it move...even if it just jumps to the next image.
My sound file was cut using the programme Audacity which is a handy little tool.


3rd Update:
Ok so I spent an awful lot of time trying both options. Firstly I had a go at remodeling .It just went badly somehow when I wanted to extrude about 10 different faces extruded outwards? How?? I have no idea I don’t know what I did wrong it just doesn't want to play ball.  So after much deliberation and not wanting to get behind I decided, even though apparently it was a lost hope, to try and fix my other model work. All in all I merged over 150 vertexes. It took about 3 hours checking included. I was pretty happy with the outcome. Took both projects in to get the checked over by the technician who had no idea why the new project extruded ten times over from one plane. Apparently it was my fault though (: s) When I showed the other project he wasn't very positive even though I’d spent far too long fixing it. He found a few places where I hadn't split the polygons and merged the planes to each other, but to be honest I feel I’d done a bloody good job mending the stupid thing.
