The best example for this thingy is "Pleasantville".

They actually painted the grass black&white for a better effect

Well it certainly looks like cr** .

Also that Effect isnt called "Matrix Effect" but "Bullettime". You do like Matrix has been the very first film to do it but its not that new.

yea. Its not even THAT bad...

Ever seen the Movie "Equilibrium"? There were so many fake muzzles in it...

fake candles

Good Movies. I see, there is no muzzle, just kinda of a smoke...

Well in AFX you have REALLY great control over Time, much much better than Premiere could do. The word is "Time Remapping". Look at this: http://www.creativecow.net/articles/preston_bryan/time_remapping/index.html . Its really a great Feature. If you want it done like in Premiere select th...

Veeeery good, although I think the bullet-holes appear a little bit unmotivated if you know what I mean.

You know the reason why cgi is existing is because its simply much much cheaper to do...

CamClub you are DEFINTLY very old-school LOL

Yeah the video is down

But the idea is great I hope you can upload it again.

If you film with a super fast recording camera? (dunno what their actual name is)

Thousands of frames in a second?

I cant believe there hasnt been any filmings of bullets leaving a gun.

I dunno whether the effect is similiar than that but I guess there is an effect in the air.

Thing is, if you want to add a cg explosion or muzzle flash or something it can get VERY anoying. You would have to track the material and that can be very annoying. You really should shake the camera in post. You have the bigger control over everything, e.g. over Blur and so. But generally I am wit...

^^ havent read it yet but sounds great. To the topic: An HDRI - Tut would be so great. I can imagine the particle part but I dunno how to make such an picture and reflect it. Thx for help [edit] Nevermind, found something at 3dtotal.com (greaaaat stuff there) and you probably used the same tut eh? (...

Wow tell us!

Looks a lil bit like 3dsmax Particle Freezing but it is veeery cool.

Did you make a panorama for that... and did you make the bullet reflect the enviroment? (HDR?)

Very good, very good

Or try AlamDV (very cheap...) although it will look like.... uhm... cr**.

Awesome job indeed!

I will try to atom-bomb your house tomorrow

Here is a lil test with my basketball thing:

You maybe noticed that I am very lazy so this is a pure render. No Motion Blur, no diffuse lightning, etc. etc.. looks pretty dumb.

The shadow isnt working as well but I am trying to fix that

ownage!
Very good
I'll play around with that stuff thx

@stickmurder30 Could you post the picture of the house in a bigger resolution? :P I would try my own house, BUT I DONT EVEN HAVE ONE :D (and masking the basketball... rack... ?.. out of the picture would look kinda crappy in that resolution.) ;) Good suggestions by HetH :D [edit] Another thing: That...

I hadnt any influence on the explosion or the picture itsself, I just ripped it off the movie.

Okay I made a lil test in ~20 min (too long for that cr**, actually) Look at it as a test, I'm gonna try it a lil better tommorow ;) Its compressed with Sorenson 3 (Quick Time) which is very bad, but hey I hadnt any time for a better compression (need to go to bed :D ) http://rentschler-flein.privat...

What programs are you using?

Well the ending with the house damaged is quite OKAY but the rest is not so good

Try working a bit with details. I'm working on houses exploding this days, too.
