i been watching this show on sci fi and there are freeze frames followed by a transition to comic book style art of the original live shot.
i have an video editing final coming up for school and i was thinking of using this technique but i dont know exactly how to go about it.
im working with digital video and editing with adobe premiere.
anybody have any tips on this?
i would be much appreciated

Hmmm... an interesting challenge. Can you give me an example video clip from the show? I might be able to help you more from there.

Simple.
Just take a freeze frame of the shot you want to be "comic'd".
Import into Photoshop and apply the comic effect to it. I would recommend download a comic action from Adobe's Studio (there are tons for comic book look)
Then you can simply set up whatever kind of transition you want in Premier.

Now i you want to transition to a video sequence that looks comic book style then...
Export the video clip you want to be comic book like as a Targa Image Sequence and using the same Comic Book Action in Photoshop, do a batch action on your image sequence and re-import into premier.
Transition to your taste.
