Patrick Boivin has produced some amazing stop motion photography (or video, if you prefer), painstakingly done one frame at a time, with superb results.
You can watch more (Michael Jackson vs. Mr. Bean, Mandalorian Dance, Unboxing of the Nexus One as you’ve never seen, etc.) at: YouTube where he also shows you how he made some of the videos, some of the equipment he used, including a simple toy train track for smooth camera movement.
