For recording the animations:

HyperCam
It's an unregistered version, but the only thing you'll see is a little "Unregistered HyperCam 2" in the upper-left corner of your videos.

as 4 the model, he looks kinda cool, but if you had a straight-on view of him, that would be nice, .

Code:
void main()
{
    cout << "I am MrCode,";
    cout << "hear me roar!";
    system("PAUSE");
}
