Animating with Lego is fun. I use my IPad to animate and the results look very good. I animate with the Lego Movie Maker app. First create a scene. Take a picture of the scene then move it slightly again then take a picture. You'll see that if you play the pictures the minifigure will look like it is moving. Use a flashlight or lamp to light the set instead of the sun. To create a night scene get your lamp and darken it a bit or you could also use some effects. Give your characters some props or do a little voice acting. If you want to make the minifigure jump. Just hold it at the edge of what the camera can see. For FPS I think 15-10 works best for the animations. Practice your animating skills and experiment a bit.
