Stop-Motion Character Animation

I started out by trying to find figures that could move their joints well. This was a greater challenge than I thought and I ended up using Bionicles despite the face that they can't bend their knees or elbows. Once I had the characters I thought of an action and then recorded some reference of me doing the desired motions. I am not really set up for stop motion so capturing some of the unbalanced poses weren't really possible, but I used play dough for part of the ground to help with some of the poses.
