Stop-Motion Character Animation

I basically used two of my desk decorations as my characters and I filmed them frame by frame moving toward each other. As they met they battled ferociously. At first the Thing was coming on top but in the end Doctor Doom had the last laugh. The Thing was simply no match for him on his own without the Fantastic 4. I filmed them edited the clips together in my adobe premiere pro. I also sped up the duration for each clip so it looks more realistic. Hope this was better than the actual fantastic 4 film that came out recently.
