Not sure if anyone's seen this, but a bunch of kids using digital cameras and light pens to create awesome animations:

UPDATE: It looks like the web page is being updated as I post this, with more animations. use the navigation at the top of the page to see more. There are also related links in the feedback posts if you scroll down on that page. I grabbed the following instructions from one of the posters there:
1) use a camera on a tripod.
2) set the lens to stay open for 15 seconds [less if its lighter, and the drawing is smaller]
3) use a lightpen, or any small light source.
4) have in mind what you are going to draw.
5) for animations you need to obviously draw the image one picture at a time in sequence
6) put the images on PC and combine them into an animation software (imageready, etc)
7) post for all the world to see and show us your creations.
