I could only find this photo. I think your animation is real. Regardless, what a find.

It's an apple quicktime file format. You need the quicktime plugin for your browser to view it.

Yeah, I reckon its pretty awesome too.

I guess an animation can be a series of images to make something move, and this can be real photos, such as in this case.
