bullet time
super slow-mo effect {slow enough for the audience to see a bulet breaking through the air as it travels, hence the name} pioniered in the hit film "The Matrix".
The effect is created by filming a short scene against a green background using two video cameras and a lot of stills cameras. The images are then added to a computer generated background and then using computers the audience can be spun 360 degres around the action, showing great amounts of detail.
Watch the matrix... also view the bullet time documentry also on the matrix DVD and possibly at the end of the VHS
