Topic: Iron Man and some newbie After Effects help(from Avengers trailer)
I've just began to work on the Avengers trailer again and am starting to reshoot some older stuff since it was in a terrible ratio (I've switched to 16:9) and I have a new webcam. I'm shooting at 24 frames a second so I can match the audio correctly from the actual trailer. I'm using this version here:

I need some help figuring out what to do for some specific FX, like Iron Man flying at 1:44 on. I have After Effects CS6.
I'm thinking of something like building a town in MINI or maybe even MIDI scale, and I can do the camera movements through the city during the flying scenes. I can do some in camera motion blur during that and I think that would turn out well. Then I could hook Iron Man up to a rig so I can have him spin and roll and have some movement (he'd be on a greenscreen), and then I could use the greenscreen to put Iron Man flying through the MINI/MIDI scale town (I can add the chitari the same way).
I will add the explosions and things using Action Essentials.
So I'm wondering, do you think this will work as a realistic way of that scene? What about the repulser/jet thrusters, how do you think I could add this with After Effects?
And then a newbie to AE questions: How can I mask in AE when doing a stopmotion? Do you have know any tutorials?
I asked something like this before but never really got a helpful answer; please try and help me if you can (if you have suggestions as to any other FX in the trailer, please leave suggestions!).
Thank you!
. For the thrusters, I think THat taping or tack-ing various shades of orange 1x1 cones like these
