Bullet Effects with Canon 5D Mark II

The Matrix was one of the first movies that I can remember that used bullet effects to accomplish a camera spin or movement while slowing down time. It would take setting up a bunch of camera on a rail system. Then making sure that cameras were setup to capture the action in the timing and frame sequence need. Afterword it would take an animation team to create digital backgrounds and clean up the action footage to put together. Now think about having say 52 cameras, all setup to shoot at the same time. That looks like what Rip Curl, in collaboration with Timeslice Films, did for a campaign shoot in Malaysia’s Sunway Lagoon Wavepool. Timeslice Films with their software is able to now take the shots and put them together for a live broadcast now. This is just some of the stuff that is just making the future of the DSLR cameras look even better for making films.
