I wanted to use a skeleton minifig in my upcoming Halloween brickfilm. Having never animated one of those before I did this quick little test to see how animating it would be:
That was great! Do you use motion blur?
How'd you keep the arms from flopping around?

Thanks! No, no motion blur was used.

I put a tiny piece of paper into the arm "socket" before attaching it to the shoulder "ball". Once that was done the arms pretty much stayed in any position that they were posed in.

Wow. It's so smooth. I thought for sure there was motion blur.
awesome job that looked incredible 
Very nice. How did keep the arms from flopping around? If I'm not mistaking them, those are the ball joint ones that have no resistance.
I realize this was already answered.

I really liked this. Spooky and humorous animation. Plus you have found a way around the sagging arm downfall besides sticky tac.
Nice.
