Eeee too much camera shake, too much blur, and needs animation work. Aside from that, cool model and idea :D

Didn't mean to offend.. it just needs a lot of work. Compositing-wise it looks pretty solid. It could use more contrast (blacks blacker) and if you added the blur in post, remove it. It's killin it, honestly. The animation is floaty. Try making the steps harder/heavier, and offsetting the body keys to show weight. It also doesn't look like the dino's arms, jaw, or tail are moving much at all. It needs more! You're off to a good start though, so keep it up.

im not offended i apreciate ur constructive comments much much more than from those who doesnt say anything.

Well i understand wot u say. i didnt understand the "offset body keys", but i will make it all again. IM going to animate that dinosaur as it if has fken tendons and muscles inside. you will see soon.

He said Less Shake.
HE ssaid Less blur.
He said more contrast.

i would like the mouth open wider at the end. i want him to take my arm off.

The problem is that the shadow doesnt come black, its coming grey from max.. can u help me or anyone?? i put a matte/shadow material to the box floor and i set it up black. so why is it coming grey? I would like to fix that in Max or in After Effects.

It is not a T-rex.

It is an allosaur :-)
Anyway, i think you need much work on the animation,expecially!
Bye,

yes mirco, its an allosaurus not a TRex u are right.

However i think ur Trex is a nice composition but i still think it walks to perfect and it looks like a robot. it doesnt show irregular movements.

Heres is my new animation of my allosaurus. Youtube compress to much videos but i think i did a better work on the post production and the animation wot do u say?

Hi!
First,I think you must change the textures from this model you've bought from turbosquid.
It looks too red on the head.
Animation is totally irrealistic: It's too static, the foot has no conctact with the ground and it seems you've not used IK in you rig!
The lighting is pretty nice.
Bye!

The first one actually looks better, imo. The compositing still needs some work.. it probably has a lot to do with the texture/shader. My biggest problem though still lies with the animation. It's feet are sliding, there's no weight in the body, and everything just kinda floats smoothly along rather than taking heavy steps like it should. Practice makes perfect :D

Compositing looks cool to me do more with the character animation if you can!:)

as it was said before the animation is pretty floaty, the feet are sliding when they are on the ground. I would do some research and see how similar animals walk
heres a quick video of an ostrich

Yes, I'd agree with everyone that the animation is too floaty. It looks as if he's walking on the moon. Maybe you should check out the movie Jurassic Park and watch how they animated the dinosaurs. I'm sure you could get some good ideas from that.
