Stop Motion: cut out and replacement animation

While stop motion isn't my personal favorite animation practice, I really enjoy watching it.  I was happy with how this turned out for first-time attempt at this type of animation without a 3D puppet.  The ligthing and masking and animation could be better, but my technical skills aren't up to par yet...plus, I made this entire thing kneeling on a hard surface on a super sunny yet cloudy day!  Brilliance in it's purest form...tis I. 

Surprise!

My character Conrad.  Hope you like it.
