D11 - Stop motion animated music video

This is my first fully animated stop motion music video. The band it THE CO-PILOT EFFECT from england. This isn't 100% finished, but I wanted to get some reactions to it.

It was obviously heavily influenced by all the usual suspects - Ladislaw Starewicz, Svankmajer, The Brothers Quay, with maybe even a dose of Harryhausen around the end parts.

here is the lowdown-

It was shot entirely with a digital SLR still camera (Nikon d200)
I built the puppets with Erica Frank, using wire,foam, cloth, and animal parts.
The "sets" were my kitchen table.
It was lit with two different desk lamps.
The bookend string quartet music is music I wrote a while ago. (I want to use the actual violin tracks from the song, but haven't gotten them from them yet)
