I had a bit of a hurrrr moment there. Being in Adelaide, not everyone could participate in the actual animation. I just figured if we built a mini set and placed the figures on it and used the lighting, then we'd only need one shot for a complete frame of animation, and everything would be tied in nicely and nothing would look too out of place. Though, if we're using green screen, cameras, angles, lighting and such will be problematic. Also, colour matching. If someone took their shots under fluroscent lighting and someone else under those funny 'daylight' globes, or even a tungsten or something then we'd have a lot of photoshop work cut out... Especially if there is any interaction between characters and the background...

EDIT: That being said, photoshop is right up my ally, and if we're just doing backgrounds, and working with a green screen, then the backgrounds could be photoshopped just as easily and then final screens and such layered over the top to tie everything in lighting and colour-wise....
