morphing software - so they use computer graphics to merge the shops so they appear fluid. smart! but did they use still cameras, or video?

The special that I saw when the movie came out showed some few dozen video cameras all filming in sync. They were on the same circular track that Frozen Motion uses, except they were on a diagonal angle, not the straight horizontal. (So that they could do their 'start on top end on the bottom' bullet-time trick) |

If there is still actor movement in the scene vs. the Freeze Moment movement, then it's must be video. If all action is stopped during the Freeze Moment, it could be still or video. There's no way to tell. |

| Could they possibly have themn strung up with fishing wire and used a video camera? Then just simply edit out the fishing lines. |

As Occam's razor states, "All things being equal, the simplest solution tends to be the best one."
What you propose is VERY complicated to do. You'd have to 'wire' every object that is doing something unusual. While filming you must expect everything to remain PERFECTLY STILL. Not very likely. People breathe, twitch. Too complicated. ;) |

that's the same thing i was thinking.
sidebar...isn't IKEA just the coolest store evah? :D |

I'd have to agree. Ikea is good, but they don't hand you your bag as you leave the store. ;)
B&H is #1.
Ikea comes in second. |

They use a bunch of cameras, about 30 or so, all mounted in a semi-circle towards a center point. They shoot all at the same exact time (although in The Matrix the shots were staggered a very tiny bit to provide the time lapse as the shot rotates), then they put them in sequential order later on. They will also use CGI or interpolation to "fill in" the gaps in between the shots to make it smoother. It's kind of like an animation movie. You have a key or lead animator who only draws scene or character changes (say point A and point B), then they have assistant animators to fill in the frames from point A to point B so it is nice and smooth.
Here's a good Wiki article on it. |
