I dont know if this is the proper way to do it but its the way that i do it

You have to have a program that alows you to view a bunch of photos on

a bar or a screen, it also has to have something that alows you to cut

out a character (eg.skier,person) and paste it to another image.

Ok. I start off with a base image out of you series of pics. You

pick out one of them that suits the best way to do things (like

placement of the characters, lighting,etc...). After you have that background pic, grab

the next image and cut out around the character (works best if you have

a zoom feature) very closely to it. After you have that character cut

out, drag it or copy paste it over to the one image you choose out for

your background image. Then you grab the next image (within a different frame)

and cut out that one and place it on the background image. But make sure that

it is in the appropriate spot. Dont try to make it look un-natural or

fake. And continue on with the cutting out and dragging until you have the person at he end of the jump/ drop/

run/ etc...

i hope this is a good explanation on how to do a sequence. tell me if it works for you.

some example of mine ive done

masking is much faster and higher quality if the sequence is done right (with a tripod). cs3 also has a feature with aligns the photos for you if you didn't use a tripod.. this is also useful.
by masking i mean layering all the images in the sequence and masking each one (covering it up). you then paint (on the mask) with white, which reveals whatever is under the mask. This method is much faster and cleaner than cut-outs i think.
 
I've never used a tripod for a sequence and gotten a few good ones. CS3 helps panned sequences quite a bit like this one which was 8500x3300 pixels in dimension when completed.
