Stop-motion test i thing it looks great what do you think?:D
The animation was awesome when he stood up! But the white expanse wasn't all that great, you could raise the brightness on your camera (well that's what I do, I know not everyone has that option.)
The only other problem I found was the camera was shaking a bit at the end, but overall I liked it, good job! 
Thanks ! i had no effect on the background for brightness and glow, i was busy most of the time a had so i made it fast in editing 
the light and the camera is my biggest problem, I have one lamp 20 W and thats not good i am going to buy another 60W,mabey it will help. And i dont know how to have my camera?
I stuck my camera with tape and its works not good like you can see....
The frame rate was a bit low - what frame rate was it at?
I think he filmed it at 15fps, it just looked like the minifig was bumped a tiny bit a few times.
Looks like 12 fps to me. 
i don't understand so well frame rate? what do you mean? like 15 pic for sec if its 15fps?

Yep 
Yes, I mean´t for it to be white but I didn´t put an effect on it so it isn´t as white as I wanted it to be.
Ignoring camera and light problems, it looks pretty good. One thing I would recommend is to ease in and out of the movements a bit more. You don't want things to be animated at a constant speed (like the head turning, arms moving and getting up), because otherwise he looks kind of like a robot. Animate like this: slow --> speeding up --> fast --> slowing down --> slow. Unless you're going for that mechanical type of look in which case that's fine.
truth thanks for the help guys! but i still don't know how to stuck my camera
tape it down or build a cage like Nathan Wells.
Animation seemed a bit too slow, try making larger IncrOOments. Yes. Sorry I cant spell.
IncrOOments? but anyway i don't made my tests or videos with stop motion software,
i don't know how to use them like monkeyjam. All my videos are just made in vegas.
Is better too use stop-motion software?and why??? i am new like you can see 
MonkeyJam is easy.
Stop-motion software is better for stop-motion because they software made for stop-motion! Once you get the hang of one, you'll realise that they're much better (you can choose the frame rate, you can get onion skinning etc.)
and you just have to press ENTER (or something) to make a picture, he saves, renames, and converts it for you!
My camera just doesn't come up in capture in monkeyjams, can i take the photos and put them later into monkeyjam and edit there? and if i can, how?
Personally, I thought it was great!
