Cool animations, especially 'dark raven'. You might want to work on the camera movement a bit though. (vs having the camera dead still for 3 seconds, then moving or tracking some object, and ending the shot with the camera perfectly still again for 3 sec.) The trick is to have smooth and continual camera movement throughout each shot. In live film, it's impossible to hold the camera perfectly still, you have to emulate this in order to make your film look more realistic. A slight pan or a slight zoom will do the trick; I always render slightly oversize and fake camera movement in After Effects... It'll make your work look a hell of a lot more professional and doesn't take that much effort once you make it a habit.
