What techniques do you use for filming?

I've been watching a load of brickfilms recently, from different people, and I've been noticed there are a lot of different techniques in use. One such example is the minifig's walk cycle - some people use three frames, some use six or more. So what techniques do you use? I use the four-frame walk at 8.3fps (yes, I know it's very precise) and I find it gets quite good results, but more or less may also work.

I tend to use whatever techniques sort my fancy. I try to avoid doing walk cycles whenever possible. I try to find other ways to have characters move (sliding or jumping or whatever).
