Thanks for the compliments! I rendered the frames at 2560x1440 30fps then I used Photoshop to run a script and downsample the images to 1280x720. It's a few extra steps, but the results were better than having sketchup produce 1280x720 files. The semi-photorealistic portion was rendered in Kerkythea.

Here is a link to my first Keyframe SketchUp animations. I just wanted to share with everyone and get some feedback. I'm in the process of creating detailed tutorials to share.

Hope you guys enjoy!
