Find a location you like. Pick a location that makes sense!
Example: Would you play hide-and-go-seek on an open field? Probably not!
Make sure to have a good composition and good exposure (not too dark, not too bright).
You (the photographer) MUST stay in the same spot and do not move the camera!
Tell your subject where to move within the frame/ the composition.
Take images of every spot your SUBJECT moves to. Remember, to NOT move the camera, and not to change the exposure!!
The subject must be in a different place for each image, otherwise, they will overlap and you won't be able to see the subject multiple times, so give yourself some space (see baseball example). Doing this will allow the subject to show up in the image multiple times!!!
You need 8 or MORE images of your subject.
Make sure you are taking the photos perpendicular to the action. Like this:

1. Once you have all 8 or more images, open PS.
Create a folder labeled "Multiplicity" and load your images into the folder.
2. Go to File > Scripts > Load files into Stack. Select all your files holding down the SHIFT key.
Make sure to click "ATTEMPT TO AUTOMATICALLY ALIGN SOURCE IMAGES".
Your image will appear in a stack of layers. The only layer you will be able to see is the TOP LAYER.
3. Click on the top layer.
4. Go to your Object Selection Tool
5. Select the model/subject
6. ADD a MASK! (camera icon)
7. Next, Turn the 'EYEBALL' OFF of the top layer, then click on the layer below it.
This will make viewing the other layers much easier. Work your way down with clean masks from the top layer down. Do NOT touch the background layer at the bottom.
As you object select > mask, turn OFF the eyeball, then work on the layer below it. See below...
8. REPEAT!!
Continue this for all layers of your image except the last one.
When you get to the last layer, turn all the EYEBALLS BACK ON.
TAH-DAH!!
