I think a few comments on overall work flow would be good.

Pointing out that postwork is a real pain if you have say 1200 images and you get flicker when the touch ups are a bit different would be good also.

I mainly composite backgrounds and only animate the figures.

Some comments on styles would also be good. I have seen stuff done with preview render and some very basic textures and some things that took a few hours per frame. 

I would suggest that any posts likely to go more than a couple of posts be put into the Poser forum as a seperate thread.
