do you mean how do you set the framerate to 15fps or how do you do the actual animation?

Re: 15 FPS.

Windows Movie Maker, or Corel Videostudio Pro x4. (I don't use a webcam.)

Re: 15 FPS.

I wanted to know how I should move the minifigures for 15FPS. I use 8FPS.
EDIT: I searched how to animate a brickfilm at 15FPS and didn't find anything.

Experiment with 15 fps for a bit. Analyze brickfilms done at 15 fps (most are). Eventually you'll get a feel for it.

Re: 15 FPS.

For actually animating at 15 fps, you just move the minifig in smaller increments.  But not equally, you have to continually make the increments larger until you get to the middle of the movement, then you make the increments continually smaller.  That's called easing in and out.  Tutorial.

To compile the frames (pictures) and make it play at 15 fps, you should get a capture program.  You can either use a webcam or import the pictures from your camera.  There are free capture programs like Helium Frog, or paid ones like Stop Motion Pro.  I use Stop Motion Pro, and it's great.  Don't use Movie Maker at all, it's terrible.  A better free editor is Lightworks.  Reading the user guides helps to learn how to use it.

In windows live movie maker just go up to where you set the speed of the pictures and put 0.065 or something like that.
