Looks really cool dude.. be awesome to see the whole thing animated..
If you need to compress it you should use divx(avi) or sorenson3(quicktime) both codecs are comparable in quality with quicktime being cross compatiable with macs.. the lowest quality usually works out to be a 1mb for a minute of footage.. at 320x240.. you should however for quality output at about 4-6mb/ minute..
I usually make three versions low bandwidth through to high b/w
hope that helps you out..

perhaps you could find hosting with a friend or something, cause id love to see that in a high resolution, looks great. As Me109 seaid, DivX is probably your best bet. If you want it extra crisp try Xvid. Its better quality then DivX but the file size is slightly higher.
Cant wait to see :)

just google search for "free web space" or something. theres free webspace from 10-500 mbs floating around. www.tk is free with just one pop up add(and browsers these days blockout most popups) and yur domain is just www.domain.tk which is very easy to remember

I use dbspot.com, from darkbasic but i think yu have to actually be a DB forumn pal of that very cool guy, I got mine ages ago(UNLIMITED WEBSPACE) OMGOMGOMG, so he's prolly forgot about me, lol. note: always read the side notes, host always have some wierd restrictions/conditions. like on dbspot it has to be 3d, game programming related, and .tk has no this, that and more random stuff(like porn). neway GL ^_^

i thought tk was just a domain thing, not like a hosting service?

hey moonunit yah .tk is just a domain service, half the time it seems to be down aswell. you just link the .tk address to forward to you own web space provided by your internet provider
