Answers.Text: The brain holding an image? Not sure I agree with the first sentence - how we experience motion differs a lot from individual to individual and where in our view stuff is actually moving. People in high-speed situations can often tell the difference up to and beyond 100 FPS... not that 100 FPS is a good target for stop-motion though - 15 FPS seems to be the norm.

Answers.Text: Today almost all displays your content will be shown on are 60 FPS screens, phones, tablets, laptops and HD TVs. While most TVs can sync to a different refresh rate, this requires support from the device that displays the animation, and this will very seldom be done unless in a properly set up home theatre system. As such, an even multiple of 60 will prevent stuttering due to dropped/inserted frames for a 60 FPS display.

  The ideal frame rate is 24 fps due to the brain holding an image for .051... seconds
  
  However in stop motion animation this can be quite tedious and time consuming.
  
  So with that in mind I'd recommend a frame rate of between 15 and 18.
  
  As for your ideas on making money out of it, I'd say go for it.

  The standard frame rate for most LEGO stop motion animations is 15, although this may vary and will be enforced by the video compiling software you use to put your animation together. Less than 15 will cause some frames to be added, while having more may skip a few. This also extends to 30 FPS, although that many frames is very time consuming, hence the 15 frame standard.

  The best frame rate depends on what are you making or if you have started only a few times ago.
  If you started now, I recommend 12 FPS to start learning the movements basic.
  
  If you already started months/years ago the best frame rate is 15 FPS. But if you want a really smooth look or something else, use 24.
