How to Shoot Fun Matrix-style Freeze Motion Videos with Friends

 

If you want to make a “bullet time” video like the kind made famous by The Matrix, you don’t need a gigantic budget or 52 DSLRs lined up in a row. Just get a large group of friends, stand in a circle around your subjects, and snap pictures at the same time! Photoblog.hk recently held an event called “See You Around Hong Kong” where large groups of photography enthusiasts gathered to do just that.


Thanks for the tip, Kenneth!

    If your friends have tripods, set each camera to manual everything, then use something like after effects to interpolate the frames between to make a smoother circular move :)

    It’s a little bit choppy, I think they need more friends.
