Default Quick Bullet Time Test

This is my first bullet time test.
Still need the bullet trails but I dont know how exactly.

C&C is welcome.

It's not bad. But it's not what I understand as 'bullet time' as popularized by the matrix. I would call it an ultra slo-mo shot. Nice, nonetheless.

As I understand it bullet-time is the technique where an ultra slo-mo is captured by multiple cameras on an arc around the subject (the audience's point-of-view therefore appears to move around the scene at a normal speed while events are slowed almost to zero.

In the Matrix Trinity jump scene, they used an array of sequentially fired SLRs arrayed around Carrie-Anne Moss, as she jumped up (on a wire)

Bullet trails. I'm sure I've seen an Andrew Kramer tutorial that touches on this, but I think it's all about using displacement maps.

Maybe if I render smoke in 3ds max or make paticles in AE.
Then use the white as a displacement or something.

The technique described above is called 'time slicing' and I dont think there is a way to do this in post ahort of building an entire 3d world.

It was very good. I liked how the bullet came towards the camera. And when you fired the gun. It looked quite"real" What program did you use to make the 3D bullet?
Keep it up.

I made the bullet in 3DS MAX.
Then exported it as .mov and keyed the black background out.
Some little effects and Finished! =D

Composed in After Effects.
I will definately make a better one soon.
I will have my new Canon HV20 in 3 weeks! =D
