Not sure where I found the information, but a really great way to show a demonstration is a technique called "the Burns effect". I believe it was the film maker that made the Public Television Series on The Civil War, Ken Burns. Since there isn't a great deal of rolling film from that era, but massive amounts of still pictures, this technique turned still photographs into a movie form.
Using two demonstrations from the site, and some great music from MusOpen.com I've put together this short demo video.
New Videos
