Looks fine to me superwoman.
I wouldn`t worry about the viewport image quality.He probably has a better video card installed.
If you do a render it will be fine.
It looks great btw

ciao

ha ha that`s too strange....I was gonna ask if you knew where the render button was...but I thoiught that might be a little to silly to ask
You can hit the render tab on the top tool bar or hit the quick render button top right
[has a little teapot on it]

sounds ambitious for a first project.
When learning animation your 30 days might run out before your done.
For now I`de model the chair and do a camera track around it.That will get you started in modelling and animation.
Good luck to you super
