I understand that the LEGO Studios set contains tips & tricks for making
models appear to fly without using string.  I've done some work on my
own in this regard (some of which can be seen on my website) but I'm
curious to know if there's an easier way.

The Studio set says to do this by using some kind of clear plastic.  You set
the plastic up so you can stick the object to it with tape or something sticky.
I have not tried using the tip yet but the only time I needed it was in my
ninja movie when a head got chopped off.  I was able to use the victims sword
to hold the head up for one frame and you can not even tell.

ASCII Example...if this works.

C = Camera
A = Actor
P = Plastic
0 = Object

               P
               P
      C        P
            A  P
              OP
               P
               P
               P
               P

Hope this helps.
