Topic: Animating Several of the same Minifigs

ok this is kinda what smeagol did in bane of the smith (he only used 1 minifig. but cropped it so that it looked like 3 different minifigs.)
my question is. how can i do the same thing. while animating each of them. and too make it more complicated. having the camera move.
Im sure i could work it out in my head. Just wondering if anyone could offer a different perspective

For each frame in your final film, you will have to take three frames with the minifig at different positions. Then in post-production (after animating), you blend each three frames together.

ahh Thats a good idea. see. i was thinking more of. animate one minifig for the entire sequence. and do the same thing. (same proccess really)
but i guess this would be easier to keep track of in Post-production.
just wondering is there any Technique that would enable me to 'mask' the video frames all at once very quickley (i know what masking really means btw)

i have sony vegas 9.0

ha. i could imagine i will. much like Kassemg(s) films on youtube. featured as "awkward Moments"
although my Production company's name was chosen as more of a catch phrase of mine. "thats awkward" i simply just modified it a little bit.
