This is looking much better, I think you need more light. If you are using 240v lighting, you will melt your lego. Try to get a lamp which uses halogen lamp bulbs, they are cooler as they run through a transformer at 12v, or some strip (tube) lighting. Places like Ikea in Europe do then for about £10 - £15.
Heres an image from a logitech qc9000. Remember this has been compressed for display on a webpage so the actual quality is much better. This was taken with one halogen lamp placed about 30cm above the figures. I didn't bother with any paper over the light, so the shadows are a bit harsh.

I still suspect your driver may not be installed correctly. A big hint that this is the case is that the resolutions your offered in your capture software doesn't give you 1600x1200 as an option but something less as the maximum resolution. I read your posts earlier and you mentioned 960 x 720, if this is the maximum you can get its certain to be the driver as I had the same issue. Completely uninstall the camera , reboot, then insert the driver cd. Connect the camera only when told to do so by the software. This cures the problem and you get a full 1600 x 1200 resolution.
When you have time take some stills using the logitech software, this way you can then determine once and for all whether the fault is with the camera or later on in your method of animation (ie capture software or editor / compression)
