    that's well nice, that. I can only second adding some grain, moving the camera less, a randomizing expression on the alpha of a dark layer with blend mode overlay over it, maybe also some very slightly random blurs, just to aid with the 16mm film effect.
    Stop motion is a pain in the ass to actually do, and even if you think youre being really careful, one frame is always slightly blurrier or differently exoposed than the next, but that actual camera position itself can remain remarkably consistent even if you've just nailed it to the bench. I really liked what you'd done of it. :)
