Mech Vs. Android

[j008]

I'm doing a robot against robot animation which is all CG for the first time.
Usually i do live action shots mixed with CG so this is new for me.
I'm aiming for a photo realistic look but i dont know how difficult that's going
to be without a render farm lol. Any way im using maya, motionbuilder and
After Effects for this one as usual. The models are from the Digital Tutors modeling female android with kyle Green and the Mech is from the simplymaya modeling Tutorial with kurt Boutilier.  Any comments and suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated. I'm using six cameras with one done and five to go so the other cams are in previz mode still. watch the clip from here:

Update: well I've finished the fourth cam so its 2 cams to go. But no comments? anyone? comeon guys i need some feedback
anyway i think its a bit blurry so im going to try and remove some of the gaussian blurs i put in.

Your camerawork is breaking the red line of the footage, so in the final it need sto be fixed. Lets continue on camerawork, you need some kind of opening shot to tell the user what the hell is going on. Teh closeup zoom out is a bit awkkward a t the moment. Also the animation itsef seem sto lack innertia and weight.

 I'll reverse the footage at the end to preserve the continuity of whats left and right..i guess. Maybe will add a shot where the andriod is hanging from the cliff by a tree root or branch as if hung by the neck..as "she comes to" and climbs up the edge of the cliff to find the mech there. I think placing the cam at the end of the zoom and doing a real zoom instead of just moving the camera may work better and editing the tangents as needed to get a smoother look Animation wise and will have to redo some of it i think.

I've also tried an update to this scene with Daz 3D studio Models which ofcourse did not model myself this time here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aknqHEH8TQ  although also not finished yet to my satisfaction ie..the android gets thrown by an explosion behind the mech which i have not done yet..
Thanks for ur reply i appreciate u taking the time to comment on my work.
