			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I always keep them on the baseplate when I have small subtle movements.  Otherwise, the minifig could get jerked around between frames.  The only time I lift them up is when they have very large movements because if they get knocked, you won't notice anyway since the movements are so large.  Even for walking I keep them mostly on the baseplate.

Instead, I use little tools to help me.  For instance, I have a mini screwdriver that fits loosely into the hands to rotate them without disturbing the position of the minifig.  Also, I sometimes pry the arms up or down with the screwdriver if its in a really tight area.]]></content>

There is a way to get pased that problem, just place a smal lego marker such as a 1x1 plate next to your minifig before you pick it up, and once your done you'll know were it was in the last frame :)
