Inspiring stuff man! The still looks fantastic, do you paint your textures in that style or did you paint over the render in post? As for the animation... truly brilliant, could use a little more emphasis on the soudtrack for that epic touch, and her eyes don't blink for a very long time, and when they do it feels a little unnatural due to how slowly and evenly they close. The head being so completely still also feels uncanny, I don't know if you were going for that effect but personally I feel this would benefit highly from the occassional slight head tilt (in any direction, mix it up!), eyebrow twitch, lower eyelid contraction... movement that emphasises speech. However, not having seen the original Dune myself, I'm not sure if you were emanating another style. I love the lighting (a little more specular/uneven light flecks around the scene could help to increase visual interest, although I understand the benefit of reducing render times, so perhaps composited in post... for example, an overlayed rotating light pattern, even very subtle, could go a long way here.) The very beginning is my favourite part, I love the light strobes!

Pretty sweet, what software did you use to pull it off?

I cannot believe this! The shading, the soft tones, the detail! *mashes fav*
