[challenge entry] Robot vs Creatures from the lake

The robot costume is made out of sculpted orange detergent bottles and pvc type utility cones held together with zip ties. The robot feet are stilts. The lake is Lake Michigan (Chicago, IL). The lake creature outfits were made out of cheap utility jumpsuits with plastic shrubbery attached with zip-ties through grommets. Their head/hats are painted utility cones cut, colored and afixed with more plastic shrubbery.

# make it bigger
Yeh, I made it! I wuz the camerman.
I will try to post a link to bigger one, but that would be at home later (5 hours in to the future from now) It's part of a 30 minute movie.

# Hm
1 Are you sure you made that? It looks like a Japanese film to me (Ultraman perhaps)

2 Why did you put the camera in such a bad position to show the costume?

3 300k+? 250k is the usual maximum size for animated images, so you will probably be abused imminently.

# and you did all of that since the compo was announced yesterday?
if so, woo to you, you have far too much time on your hands - but not enough to optimise, obviously

anyone got any anti-sarcasm pills?

# op-to mise
I thought the size wuz less than 350 k. I help shoot the movie 2 years ago.When I saw the comp entry I went diggin on the hard drive for the footage. N, chopped it down a bunch o times. Any recommendations on how I kin make smaller and not loose any more detail?
