Animation render comes out dark

I'm trying to create a rendered flythrough using the steps from Chaosgroup found here: http://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/V...asic+Animation
While I can get a basic animation, the final rendered frames are much darker than when I render normally.

I've included my main settings below in case I've missed something:
