hello everyone - i am new to this, but love the site...! i come from a web design background, but am looking to try and make the move towards 3d animation work, so i'd appreciate any and all feedback about my latest - trying to show a character with his "gears turning"...

download quicktime - 5.3 mb or avi - 3.2 mb
or, you can view this, and others, directly from my website. thanks in advance!
I like it. Clean and clear. The only (really minor) criticism I might have would be that sometimes he goes from a passive pose to an active one at "lightning speed" which is a tad unnerving, but having had a look at the other animations on your site it appears that is part of the character 
Speaking of the site - I think you've done a good job on that too. Easy to navigate, looks great, and has character. Well done!
