This is tremendously good work. I've been following it for a while and only now posted something. I am sure this will be an amazing piece of work, as you have nailed the most important part, and that is the story, and characterisation. While it is very likely you will come across technical hitches, do not let these faze you.
I have been playing with poser for a while, and I would not have the patience and determination you have shown with this work. You can have the best hardware, the best software, but in the end theya re all tools. I have seen (and made) countless animations, some of them great looking, but that's all they are "animations" this is a story and that's what makes it memorable.
