Hi Cat - there's no mention in your OGR of your 'postcard/holiday brochure' concept?! You haven't included your intentions or visual concept - good thing I've been following your progress, but a potential client may not have been! Your OGR doesn't actually tell me very much at all... The one thing in style terms that I think is important is that you actually look at the conventions of holiday brochure photography and souvenir postcards and the like, to ensure your animation communicates nicely as a pastiche. At the moment, your thumbnails, however lovely, are all highly abstract, and I think you need to give thought to the over-arching visual concept, which is 'the human body as a holiday destination' - this will be important when you starting thinking about your script, because the language and tone has to be spot on:

You might find it useful to look at the animations of Joanna Quinn for a way of marrying together style with a real sense of Englishness/character : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liBkjq4m64c When I think about your concept of the family of hookworms on holiday, Quinn's work comes to my mind.
So - I want to see much more design work around the 'holiday' concept because that's a lovely idea, but it's sort of disappeared from your OGR...
I agree that this OGR doesn't include much of the holiday concept. I'll do another power point to show off the idea. The Butlins video is good, but I want to film more informative about the journey the worms take. So I was aiming for a narrated video that explains a planned trip visiting different destinations in the human body. A bit like a couch trip around the country. To me it's very important that the video explains clearly about the life cycle of hookworms.
The character designs of the hookworms will be improved and put more into detail. I plan on two main characters who are to represent a middle age couple going on a holiday. I got that idea from an episode of 'Keeping Up Appearances.'
