As for getting a closer look, try downloading the mp4 version with KeepVid or JDownloader - it's 1080x720, and there's no motion blur for the express purpose of being able to examine it frame-by-frame.
Or, if you have Blender 2.63, I could just email you the .blend file. I'm thinking about putting it up on Blendshare under the Creative Commons Attribution license, though I'd like to get a non-transforming version with a character rig skeleton system made first.
Current polycount is right around 2000, but most of those are quads so it would double when fully triangulated for game engine use. Even so, that's nice and light for semi-modern systems - I'd expect most games from the last decade to be able to handle it.
