We do it by importing the photos in their original order into a non-linear editing program like Final Cut Pro as 1 frame each. You can vary this frame rate according to the action or style your going for. You can then treat this timeline full of stills like normal footage -although sometimes it helps to add a step and turn each shot into self-contained movie clips first so you dont have each individual frame sitting separately in the timeline (it will essentially end up looking the same as any other project).

I hope that helps...?

That sounds like death.

yay thanks... i really appreciate the reply.. I'll try it next week! =)

I can't actually remember. I'm pretty sure it varied shot to shot between 6/s and 25/s I think most of it was 12 or 25 though.

Ah, fancy 80s technology!
If you look at 0:36 you'll see that the tray actually pops up above the machine so you can slide the tape in. Sneaky.
