Superb work!
"Not all about the hardware"...
Well, that's clear. But you obviously do not work on an old laptop. That hair and the plants need lots of RAM, a more than decent V-card, etc.
Good hardware boost up your creativity in the world of 3D.
Had a look at your video. To me the camera shaking looks quite natural. Just asking myself, why such a dramatic soundtrack to such tender images?
