Duuude! Holy crap. That's the sickest thing I've seen in a grip. I was teasing your partner about wanting sound effects and transformations but I see you have it covered. Are you rotoscoping the stop motion over original footage? The animation and compositing are top notch.
Just posing my figures is a pain in the ass, my hats off to you guys who have the patience to animate them. Are you using aftereffects? Also are you tethering your camera to your computer to line up the shots?
I work pretty old school, just a digital camera to take the pics (figures lined up by eye using freeze frames of the toon for reference), then all the compositing and effects is done in Photoshop.
Oh man, your insane. If you can get a hold of After effects it will make life way easier. You can create dynamic links with photoshop that will update your layers live. It's great for streamlining. You can also do the same with premiere and have dynamic links between photoshop and aftereffects. Works nice because you don't have to keep rerendering your footage so no loss in quality.
