I saw about 10 videos with their minifigure shrugging at first I tried some tack but it failed. How do they make their minifig shrug?
Well, you can always animate the minifigure extending his arms and then rotating his hands outward, that's always proven effective in my eye.
Or you could slide the arms up, and then down. First remove the little nub that connects them to the holes. Then put sticky tac on them, and place them on the minifigs side.
I reccomend what RealBrick said.
mcoov, I think that's close to what he tried to do.

Thanks minifig051 and realbrick, I tried it out and the gesture gives me the same idea as shrugging.
Something too add to that: Leaning the minifig back a bit while doing it adds an extra touch that looks great.
do the short on a green screen, cut out his arms after(just make the shots you use have a Transparent Back ground) and depending what program you use you could animate his arms moving up. so as to get the shrug.
