I love your oil lamp, very realistic.
Your screenshot has made me all curious to see the finished movie. Move over Indiana J  ;D

I saw your cart picture, unless it's the camera angle, the textures looked really blurred and so can't give the intensity needed for a dangerous ambiance as denoted by the "DANGER" sign.
Hope my crits aren't too harsh.

i agree that in the still, with 'broad daylight', the textures do look a bit low-res and unconvincing.  but... in the finished video, with the camera rushing around all over the place, and much darker, patchier lighting going on, the effect should be a lot less noticeable.  you can usually get away with much less-detailed models in a fast-moving action scene than you can in a close-up, high-res still.

maybe you might want to upgrade a couple of the lowest-res textures, but don't worry about it too much, especially for the bits the camera won't have time to scrutinize :)

Thanks guys.
Any feedback is good feedback in my eyes.
To be honest I'm having a bit of trouble with the lighting and shadows again  :P
I just can't seem to get the hang of it, but I'll keep trying until I do  ;)
I have quite a few more props to add to make it a bit more "DUN DUN DUNNNNN"  :D
Hopefully it should be ready for viewing soon, just don't expect too much as this will be my first ever animation.
PS. If anyone has got a sound effect of a running train that would be suitable, could you please mail it?
