It's just painting layer masks...

I have done it too, but decided not to submit it, since it already
appears often: http://pano.erik-krause.de/energy/ (th second one).
It's simple. Shoot as many frames as you like, with your pano head
either in one position or even panned and tilted in between (around
the nodal point of course). Stitch them all using panotools and
output as layered PSD. Paint layer masks to reveal/hide what you want
or want not to show (Don't know whether Realviz is able to do it).
It's more or less the same as editing the overlap for moving
subjects.

Most probably on the panotools list (at yahoo, too). There was a pano
some time ago showing a landing paraglider in several stages of
motion:

The message in the list:
