French CG Music Video in style of Stop Motion

I'm trying to achieve a puppet like quality in the flea film but using CGI.



French director Stéphane Berla manages this very well in the music video Tais Toi Mon Coeur (Shut up, My Heart) but also takes advantage of the computer world to add some effects such as smoke and sequences such as the cogs below which could have been very difficult due to the physicality of working in stop motion.
