heh

1 - lots of cameras

or

2 - fake it

There are no tripod or equipment reflections in anything could be a green screen fake scene.

Prerendered scenes can look very good.

I would think multiple cameras ala The Matrix. A lot less work than 3D.

hmm... green fake screen eh? possible too.
are those easy to do in photoshop?

I just found 3 rooms 1 of them with half reflective coverage from cabinets andf another covers 50-60% of one side of the room/viewing / shoting angle in reflection and theres nothing but the otherside of the room.

Green screen alot of work.
3d... not really that hard, maybe creating the texture maps would be severly time consuming though.

I guess the camera's could be masked to reflect white like the opposing wall in the one room?

Not my favorite store but I really like that lingonberry juice they sell just past the registers. Mighty tasty.

Well hell ever seen "The Abyss"
Movie where that underwater research station is attacked by a water tentacle.

The final rendering was done in Photoshop 0.9 in 1989 on a cray XMP1 super computer.

Well a high shutter speed helps.

1 - If its a fake, well it wasnt there and was never moving to begin with.

2 - If its real and shot with 30 or so cameras well they were all fired at the same time from every angle needed. SO their essentially frozen like any other photograph.

Perhaps but it could also be the cameras are further back and they would never show up because of the angles. Plus if any unwanted reflections were there then it would be pretty easy to remove them with PS.

Those are 3D renders according to my wife. who is a 3D artist with a shall we say gameing company to remain nameless.

Things like the chicken are quirky fake so are the water droplets. The chicken looks like a polygon texture wraped.

The knives would be hard to setup would have to be suspended. Its just all too perfect.

i was also thinking, could the people and items inside the room, actually be composites (with green background like someone mentioned above) and later added into the room (which is shoot using 1 camera)? is it more trouble doing it this way?
 04/02/2007 11:19:25 PM · #15
Ever see the making of The Matrix's 'Bullet Time'? They use 15-30 cameras all set to go off at the same time.

That's some great stuff on that site. I love all the examples.

The whole thing is 3d rendering. What they do is take a picture of the scene or someone draws a picture and you scan it into the computer and start creating the 3d for it. We did something like this in my Graphic Design class. I had to create a bathroom that you can pan around. The program I used was 3D Max 6 and 7.

Or it could have been done like that. hahaha I'm sure you could do it both ways.

However they did it, it is very, VERY cool. And the music really adds to the effect of jumping from one to another.

Yeah it is pretty cool.

Not that I am an expert on 3d rendering but because I rehab houses I did a before shot of the house I am currently working on. I poseted it on Youtube.com so tell me whatcha think.

Frozen Moment is the same technique they used in the Matrix - that's where it came from. That example on the site says 80 cameras, but I think in the Matrix they were using far fewer. Something like 50 cameras for a 320^ arc and using morphing software to fill in where necessary. But I may be completely off base on that.
