StopMotion and New Discoveries

This time we had to use stop motion to remove, add, or move an object or person. I tried many variations of how to remove the cell phone from the scene but neglected the key technical aspects. See if you notice them.
  
After recording while editing I discovered that the camera I used (Flip HD) has an auto lighting feature. Meaning that when I step in front of the camera to remove the cell phone from the scene the camera saw mostly darkness and adjusted by making things brighter. Not noticing this I called for the action to continue not giving the camera enough time to adjust back. Very educational.
Another thing is I asked the actress to stop then go which caused a jump. I should have asked her to stop, then reverse movement then continue again to capture her mid movement.
And finally the cell phone was not clearly visible, but that could be nit-picking.
