I am not sure how it done.

Has anyone seen the new TV still's for the new programs where they advertise them.

It is one shot, mostly, but they look 3D. All action shots. Everything seems to be in focus.

are they layering it???

How do you think it is done??

Probably with multiple cameras arranged in an arc, kinda like they did in the Matrix action scenes.

Fai, no not like that. Unfortunetly I can not seem to find the show advert on the web, only on the TV.

I am thinking it has to be either TV magic, or multiple layers, They are all action shots, so 1 person is in the foreground spilling his drink the other is sliding over the bonnet of his car, the background is or seems to be sharp as well.

I am going to search some more to see if can find them, or take a photo of the advert when I see it on TV

edited to add: this is the best I could find, right at the end of clip //showhype.com/video/memphis-beat-season-1-promo-1-telestrekoza-com/ SORRY it does have an advertisment and then the spiel about the clip but right at the end, is the shots i am talking about

YES it is exactly like that. How did they do that????

you mean like when someone has jumped in the air, then the camera view rotates around them whilst they are frozen in mid air? if so, they get loads of the same cameras and line them up on a path that they want the video to follow and all record the same action and then take out the corresponding frames from the frozen shot, so it has that effect, but on that ad, it looks more like two shots were taken, one of the whole scene excluding the guy spilling the drink, and the other with the rest of it, then the guy is cut out and placed over the other scene and in the video when zooming in on the main photo, the cutout spill is simultaneously moved to give the 3D effect. If you look at the clip again and try to ignore the guy spilling the drink then it just looks like they are zooming into an image, the cutout tricks you into seeing a whole different effect. well thats what i think...

scrap all that, looking at it one more time there appears to be loads more layers, everything is moving relative to the background, maybe several shots for the guy spilling the drink, the guy on the moped, the car with guy sliding over it and finally the background, and all magically processed by some guy who has spent too much time on it ;)

OUch for writing it all out then scrubbing it.

Do you think it is photographs that has done this, or movie magic???? (can you tell I have no idea what movie magic is LOL)

I am so glad that someone else has asked this question. The only thing I have been able to figure out is that it is many many layers. I have achieved similar effects with two self shots in a kitchen using an over saturated frame, with correct exposure, of the background. The image was made for my advanced illustrative class assignment and has been highly well-liked. Anyway, I'm no expert, but I hope it helps. I am striving to make more of these images! LOL

There's a course at MIT called "Computational Camera and Photography" and limiting/extending the DOF in different areas of the image using software was one of the problems that was presented. ...interesting.
