I think you should tell Lego you have an epic Batmobile design for their new line and sell them instruction for a billion kazillion moniez.

By the way, what kind of camera do you use?

Ah. Do you use a particular stop-motion program?

The only thing you'd have trouble with is doing focus pulls and zooming. As long as you don't adjust the focus in the middle of the shot, it's okay. Did you have it on auto in your already released films? It doesn't look like you did, I didn't see any focus flicker.

Anyway, the sharper the quality, the better. Have you considered getting a webcam? With a webcam, everything is controlled on the computer, so your webcam won't move unless you want it to. A webcam needs a frame capture program. I would reccomend getting Stop Motion Pro. You have to pay for it, but it's worth it. It has a very helpful tool called onionskinning. If you're going to get it, make sure you get Action! HD for a good resolution (Action! and Action! Plus have a maximum resolution of 800 by 600).

Thanks for telling me that. I just might buy said camera.

Thanks, Jargon.

Upping the bar is exactly what I want to do with this film.

No, that's just for a dramatic, cool, over-the-top cool affect. The head is glow-in-the-dark. During night scenes I'll have a cool glow coming from it.

Now I feel officially sorry for you

Having a computer right next to your film set would even further increase your already very good animation skills...
But only if you use software which permits "live view" of your camera (or rather that your camera would support live view...)

Alternatively, at least for smaller sets, you could consider building an animation box.  With your resourcefulness, I'm sure you get what I mean...

We'll seeing the result of the "Making an Entrance" Challenge and knowing what I know now about your situation, you've risen several points in book... ;-)

Animation box...
That's an interesting idea...
But, not very practical as I would need to buy a webcam, animation software, build the box, and a whole lot of other stuff would just make it kinda ridiculous. xD
No webcam for me. Hehe, I don't feel very bad about it though.
I feel kind of awesome inside when I prove all of those brickfilmers wrong about not animating with webcams.
And hopefully I'll be able to get a camera which I can plug into the wall so I don't have to worry about... "Battery Low"

That's pretty awful.

Anyway, guys, here's my Alfred:

I went for a more Allan Napier look (he played Alfred in the '60s).
Best Alfred ever.

As if all of this didn't look remarkable and like it'll make one heck of a film with all of the work put into it, your '60s-reference-ness just made it more epic.
