He probably will take the shako off.
The problem with self stringing pictures is that, in an editing software, that I'm aware of, you have to self size down each picture to a really small clip. I would find it difficult and really hard to do it by its self. The good thing about Anasazi and other Stop motion programs is that they already string them together, making it easier and faster to edit.
Webcams can be used for live animation as well, but usually, nobody uses that feature in their movie. Webcams are also basically for other stuff besides brickfilming. Anyway, I'm really sorry if I'm making it sound really difficult thing to do. It is hard to do, but it is doable and is much fun.
