Timing looks OK to me - I'll defer to others if they think otherwise.
Starting position - why is the ball so far right? The top half of your body is lined up well, but I'd say that the ball/shoulder/head should all be a bit further left. You're pushing your center of gravity out away from your base, which seems like it would make for an unstable starting position.
Release - You're coming way around the ball, pretty early. You're losing leverage, and it looks like you're getting an over-reaction from the dry from all that axis rotation. Also, you seem to be trying to hit up on the ball. Try to stay behind it! Let it roll, blah blah, you know the drill
Also, good balance at the line.
mmm, Compliment sandwich.

I don't think your posture leaning to the right is an issue, I do think you need to reach down through the release and scoot the ball to the break point. This will get the ball closer to your ankle and prevent you from grabbing it at the release.
Your timing is a touch late, and that is not necessarily a bad thing, I wouldn't fix it as it is not broke.
It is hard to tell from the video, it looks like you are turning your hand a touch early and bending your elbow after the ball is gone indicates you are trying to hook the ball too much. Try scooting the ball to the break point as described above and extend your fingers through to the break point instead of pulling your fingers to your palm.

Alrighty then I'll try and get some more video tonight! Hopefully with better lighting this time around. Do you guys think the little bit that I was pulling it behind my back caused me to "try to hook it"?

Ample, I think it would behind your back because your initial starting position caused the pushaway to be to the right, which coupled with a free swing will end with the ball coming behind your back.
