Help with filming using toys, but keeping hands and arms out of shot?

[The Bear Two Show]

In my videos i use Toys as my characters in my videos, but im finding it hard to get different angles and camera movement to make them a bit more interesting as its hard to move the toys and keep my arms and hands out of shot, has anyone got any tips or advice on filming using toys and puppets to make my shots a bit more interesting?

Stop motion or that thin thing for fishing. I reccomend stop motion.

It depends on what types of toys you are using. If you are using actions figures then still frames are your best friends.

oh, thats a good idea! i dont really think stop motion will work well with how i want my videos to look, but maybe making one of them puppet things would be good[DOUBLEPOST=1409602676,1409602575][/DOUBLEPOST]

When I saw the title my mind automatically went to the gutter... I'm glad and yet disappointed at the same time that you weren't talking about a vibrator, lol! You seem to be doing ok with the latest video as far as moving them around, but something shorter and funnier would be more appealing.

Surely stop motion or fishing wire. I remember seeing somebody that recreated the entire Toy Story with actual toys. You might get some inspiration from it.
