Since I havn't tried ANYTHING yet, decided to take a quick video of an orc raising and lowering his arm. Sort of wanted to see what I would be getting myself into with this type of artwork.
Let me know what you think, thanks!
P.S I know it's not great or anything, lol.
The FPS was pretty slow. I would raise it to about 15 FPS. Also, your camera was slanted. Next time, try to secure your camera onto the table so that that won't happen.

Running at 15 FPS
That was my question that Aaron so nicely pointed out. I WAS running at 15fps, so was there some strange reason it looked so strange? Also, since the quickcam is so awkward, I just had it sitting there, and since the lens part is circular, yeah...anyone know of a cradle that can help my problem?
Did you use MonkeyJam? If you did, did you take the frames and put it at 15fps? Don't do that, you see, I used to do that and noticed that it doubles the framing, which means you are actually going at 7 and a half fps. There are two things you can do, the hard way, or the easier way.
Hard Way: Shorten all the doubled frames to 1 frame and then put it at 15fps. I don't do this though because if you have a huge piece of animation it means you'll have to shorten every frame and move it, which is very stressing and time consuming.
Easier Way: Keeps all the frames at doubles, then put the fps at 30fps, and it will be 30fps at doubles, which is just 15fps.
I do it the easier way. Easier for me.
Bah, Splash Studios.
Monkey Jam don't put in doubleframes unless you ask for it. When you import your frames (or shoot them) you get to chose if you want 2 or more frames each frame, or 1.
Make that three ways.
The proper way:
On the capture window.

Oopsy. Thanks for that.
So I want to make my little window look like the picture Riley posted?
Just that ''image hold'' thing is important
