The concept is simple.
1.) use virtual dub mod or some other program to turn any clip you want into a series of pictures.
2.) use AE or photoshop (or whatever photo editing program you want) to cut the character out of each picture/frame using the pen-tool, polygon lasso tool, etc.
3.) place each picture you cut the character out of in the proper order on the timeline of whatever video editting program you use. Make sure each picture is only shown for a couple frames (give or take).
Read the guides for a much more detailed/thorough explanation.
