those are the only ones where I cant guess how they're done. this probably uses the "camera magic" of stopping the tape and replacing with a photo. but its so stylish

They are actually amazingly easy to do. Just freezing one frame of the video, and them motion tracking that still frame to a "frame" that a person is holding. The hardest part is matching the highlights/shadows as the "frame" is moved around. Everything is done on the computer after it's shot.

The series is called 'The Hire' and there's 8 of them. Link below to IMDB.
