theres a famous photo of a man walking down the stairs, its kind of like time lapse with all of the photos layered over each other, but i cant remeber the name to find it again? and can anyone tell me what this technique is called??

Marchel Duchamp did in fact paint a whole series of painting based on the movement of a nude model, entitled 'Nude descending a staircase'. Originally such images were in fact produced from multiple single photo negs layered one on top of another. Try looking at the work of Edward Muybridge. You could try multiple exposure on the same negative, but that will require a motor drive to reset the camera lens. Would suggest for photochemical, a b (bulb setting) for shutter speed and use either a repeating flashgun [expensive] or alternatively 'borrow' a science dept. Stroboscope. As I do with my students. Use a fast film say 400 ISO and push it up with say Perceptol developer. If using a digital camera you could do it successfully as a multi layered image, but would need the multiple exposures. We have digital cameras that with allow use to shot between 8 and 10 fps (frames per second) using the buffer for compact flash. Go on try it live a little and experiment!
Have a look at [photo joiners] by David Hockney, another interesting way of depicting movement(see Cameraworks, David Hockney, published by Thames and Hudson.) So we have several techniques to consider now:
1.Superimposition
2. Multiple exposures
3.Multiple exposure
4. Stroboscopic imaging.
Whoops sorry nearly forgot,I had some students experiment with using Neutral density filters and a model moving in slomo.
Enjoy!

I don't know the title, but the technique is called sandwiching. You take the negatives you want, and place them on top of eachother in the enlarger. You have to have a higher exposure time due to the amounts of light flowing through being decreased. In his case he used similar negatives. It is important to have a very steady surface, like a tripod or desk, to shoot from so you don't get variation in the backround.

Could be multiple exposure? I think the one you're referring to is by Edward Muybridge - Marcel Duchamp based one of his paintings on it.

It is time lapse.......= a motion picture.
