Aside from making everything stop moving, what would be a good effect to show that time stopped? I use Sony Vegas 9 Plat.Version.
Maybe try to make a blue filter and some sound effect when the time stops.
Maybe a flash then the frozen pic, then suddenly they continue movie (unless you don't want them moving anymore).
Make a bright white flash right when time stops, then make the still picture in black and white. That would make it look a bit more "frozen", if that's the effect you want to achieve.
Add a slight gaussian blur and a blue tint to a frozen picture, that should work.

Say I want something still moving in the freeze-frame, would black-and-white still be the best option?

If you're willing to take the huge amounts of time my suggestion will take, yes, you should use black and white. I think you should mask out the person who's moving in color, but everything else is in black and white. So the thing(s) that are moving are in color, but everything else that is frozen is black and white.
However, if you don't want to take that much time, just make it plain black and white.
Or, you could do it more realisticly...
Just make a whoosh sound when time stops, and have some objects floating...
Or you could make a slight wavy effect...
I really like the idea of a colored object moving in black-and white, and i'm going to be doing a lot of masking anyway... but the object that will be moving is eniterly white 
Or you could tint everything else a bluish color while making him not tinted.
Or make him a tinted blue color and everything else b&w. Maybe an extremely slo-mo, like you have to look real closely to notice everything is moving in miniscule amounts but it looks pretty still never the less.
DerTarchin, that would be a righteous pain in the ass to do with LEGO.
Especially with how much masking i already have to do >_<
Make the picture warp for a brief moment when time freezes.
