This is the result of one year of teaching myself the basics from a couple of 3-D animation programs (Animation Master and Softimage XSI) and a few compositing applications and about 6 months of actual stop-motion animation entirely in front of a green-screen.

This whole film was shot on a table about 36" long and 24" wide. Here's a couple of pictures of my micro stop-motion studio:

The photograph on the left has everything that was "really real" in the film. Everything else was 100% CG. Oh the $$$ that was saved. But it really is not much of a time saver... which is, in my opinion, a little more valuable than money.
