The capturing a moving object in multiple positions on a single frame of film can be fairly easy and inexpensive to do. The equipment needed for a minimal system (aside from a camera, of course) are some pieces of cardboard and a small battery powered motor.

It should be possible to produce some pretty interesting
pictures with this technique. I wonder what it would look
like if one were to pan the camera while making an exposure
with this attachment?

The link above (first method) describes how to make a cheap
and effective stroboscopic attachment for any camera with a
sufficiently long shutter speed and a lens with filter threads.
