How can I show my son how stop action filming works using our digital video camera.?

I want to show him how things can appear to move using stop action.

Taking digital stills with your camcorder and put it into windows movie maker.

Get some actiuon figures, set them up, record, then pause quickly. Move the action figures a little bit, then record and pause quickly again.. Repeat.

Here is the key detail you need to know. Use a tripod! Take pictures of the drop action then you can put them into editing software such as Windows Movie Maker and create a video out of it.
