An introduction to "Bullet Time"
Remember this?
Bullet time, the visual effects used in the film was used to create a character's control over time and space. Scenes were filmed using cameras that allow them to film in slow much but show on screen what appears to be normal speed. Bullet time effects are often quite complex to film. Using 3D stimulation, they fired camera fractions of a second after each other. This captured every single action, (so about 12000 frames for a 3 second scene) to create the most iconic slow-motion effect.
Various cameras would circle around each other to shoot the scene. The Matrix hired George Borshukov who specialised in this field to edit out the cameras in the background using 3D models that were based on geometry of buildings and even photographs of buildings.

The "bullet time" scenes like the ones shown above were The Matrix's most successful and mind-blowing scenes. Adding to a cyberpunk mystique film, the directors were able to bring out intense fight sequences that were remarkable and most of all, rememberable.
