I have to disagree with you on frame rate. stop motion is normally (or was normally) shot with film which runs at a rate of 24 frames per second. To save time and money it is shot on twos. So every frame would be 2 clicks of the camera which equal 12 frames per second. The that is the bare minimum that the perception of motion is achieved. Any lower frame rate and you will be able to see all the individual frames and it will look extremely choppy.
