 ideas :

you can faintly see the joints on the figure holding it in position

one of the many poses that these figures can be put into.

in my pitch i started talking about a figure fighting Plasticine, the figure i intend to use is by revoltech a Japanese figure line by the company Kaiydo. in the two pictures above it shows how easily the figure is able to be posed and can be adapt for stop motion because the joints "snap" in each frame so you can literally move the arm less than a cm a frame , using the special "revolver joint" which is in the picture below the joint clicks every time its moved giving you a slight idea how much your moving the arm, leg shoulder and even torso.the hands are interchangeable like most revoltech figures.

the revolver joint 

from all of these pictures we can see that revoltech figures have good articulation for different poses and different parts for different purposes. they can be posed very easily and have clear stands that can be edited out easily.so my basic idea was that this figure uses his sword to fight off Plasticine monsters, using the slash effect, given in the box and also using video editing software to create lightning attacks.

additional pieces , including the interchangeable hands and slash effect and a slide stand

some of the additional parts can be seen in the packaging including the slash effect i mentioned below

smallest stop motion advert

the video above shows the smallest stop motion ever
the figures used were exactly 9mm tall and had 50 replacements for each fram, there were over 2000 frames so they used almost 100,000 models because some broke.

stop motion in advertising

stop motion in advertising
UK department store chain John Lewis are known for the high production value of their annual holiday commercial produced in partnership with Adam&Eve/DDB. This year’s festive/sappy/tear-jerker ad, The Bear & the Hare, could have been produced using standard animation, but the creative team opted for a much more complex and time-consuming hybrid of hand-drawn animation converted into stop motion animation. The making-of video above is almost more impressive than the actual commercial, which you can watch here. BUT WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!? The BBC tries to interpret the ad. (via It’s Nice That)
