What do you call this type of editing?

Is there a specific name for this?

Imagine this as a moving vid ok:

Then...

What's that called?[/img]

Not sure what you're looking for here. The pics do not lend themselves to imagining a moving video. You want each block moving independently or you want the frame appearing over the stick man?

If the second, it's called overlaying a mask onto the picture. If you want each section moving, that's pretty much just traditional animation.

Overlaying a Mask eh?

I think it sounds right.

Basically imagine the full image was a video of someguy running in real life.

Then certain sections of the video will appear in a creative way.

Think of an invisible rubber and it cleans out the black colour and reveals the video.

Would that be called 'Overlaying a Mask'?

I would think so. Or maybe several masks. It could aslo be done picture-in-picture.
