@mike, you don’t need a lot of cameras, just a lot of friends. I posted this on 9-18-10 http://fstoppersforum.com/showthread.php?544-See-You-Around-Lomo-Matrix-effect

Although this is well done, time freeze is sorta becoming cliche. Go to YouTube and search for “time freeze Matrix effect” Lots and lots of amateur videos.
Here’s a video from the Nikon 360 rig (48 D700) at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfcY0PgpH6k&feature=fvw
So if you are going to do a time freeze movie/video it has to be beyond superior!

Ok this was the best one yet! Where can I get a job connecting cables for these guys :-) I worship the ground that you shoot on…or in this case water :-) JUST AWESOME!

pretty weak result for such a big set and budget.
Have a look at what those guys do:

that’s a much better use of bullet effect and way more creative editing.
Rip Curl and surfers should have a look at other extreme sports movies, they will discover there is loads of creativity aroun them too.
PS:I’m a surfer too so no offence intended

Very cool but I still want to know how Andy Gordon does it with only two cameras and After Effects like this http://www.hadlowpro.com . There are 3 videos on that link that have 2 camera bullet-time effects throughout that are amazing.

@Anthony Andy Gordon’s video @ http://www.hadlowpro.com is the best! Thanks for providing the link. They kiteboard at the HB cliffs, but I ain’t never seen anything like this – WOW.
@ Lee This belongs on the front page. No BTS … but who cares when the video is this good.

I agree that bullet-time video is getting to be cliched, however, I have to admire the amount of work that was put into concepting, setting up, shooting and then editing something like this.

I have a question.
How do you make those cameras focus continuously at the subject? When the camera is hand held, we might use AI SERVO but how/what software is used in this case to keep the cameras focussing perfectly all the time?
