How do you write a freeze frame? Is it considered a transition? And how do you go about unfreezing? Any help is appreciated.

Nothing fancy, as long as it's clear.

Check out the first dozen or so pages of "Feast", which uses a bunch of them.

If you haven't read it, you should -- I can almost guarantee you will dig it.

Thanks Bert. The opening of that movie is actually what I'm going for here.
