Hey guys, 
We are about to begin animation. 
We have never animated before. 
The first things we need to fully understand about this:
How do we get iClone to not keep any recordings in the scene that we want to do over? 
How do we record several different people just barely swaying in the same scene? 
(We apparently can't do these as 'billboards' because the background is not a blank scene.) 
Help please?  Advice please? 
Thank you, guys! 
~ Kimmie

The background does not have to be blank to have people made and animated from the billboard.
Peter Blood had some tutorial made for this. A little work involved, but the result is very good.
Unfortunately he removed video clips, but from the screenshots it is pretty much explanatory:

4u2ges: I want to try this!  But the 1st piece in the tutorial I have questions on to get started, please! 
How do I create 8 directional lights?

You may add as many as you'd like:

From menu: Create > Light > Directional Light

Thank you, 4u2ges!  Just one more question for the moment: 
How do I create a black screen like he did?
