Has anyone seen any of Patrick Boivin's stop motions? If so, do you know how he is able to make films with natural lighting but have no light flicker?

Could you post some examples of his work? I don't know him to be honest.

That's deep bro.
I'm a fan of his works. Actually, he doesn't use natural light, he uses a lot of greenscreen. You can see that in his "Making Of" videos.
Forget the natural lighting issue... HOW DID HE MAKE THE BABY DO THAT

So like what part of it is stop-motion even, I can't even tell now 
There was a Behind the Scene clip for the DragonBall Z video. A man in a scaled up baby suit and another man in a scaled up stuff animal costume performed the fight in front of a greenscreen.
Aero, are you talking about the Bionicle video?
Sorry about that, should have posted examples.
@Lechnology, that one looks green-screened.
In the making of the second video, which can be seen here, you can see some scenes are green-screened but others seem to be done in natural light.
In that making of he shows some of the original shots, and it's visible that he had some light flicker, but cleared the frames in post production. In the other shots where he has no light flicker at all...I don't know.
im pretty sure he animates the characters on a green screen using 'front light, back light' where you take two exposures for each frame of movement (one with the light on the character off so you have a black silhouette on a green screen, use that to find your image mask and apply to the front like image of the same position) then he takes ONE picture for each camera angle and animates the 'handheld' in post.
