3D After Effects Bullet Time Tutorial! (with other bonus stuff)

[SittingNow]

This is a bullet tail effect, not really bullet time. Bullet time is a real-time camera moving around a slowmotion object.

[weikang]

@SittingNow sure, bullet trails are inevitable when doing bullet time. But not all bullet time involves rotating around an object (e.g. matrix reloaded, trinity falling sequence). plus I would argue that in this case, we are watching a real-time camera moving to observe slow motion bullet objects (my original intentions for the project anyway).

Nice Vid!!! thumbs up!

[alanmorc]

I can use After Effects CS4 to create this effect .....

[Kazeaaze08]

@alanmorc Ow Yes? Explain us, How? :P

i cant find particular

[weikang]

@ClayCFilms Particular is a plug-in that can be purchased from Red Giant software.

Alternatively, you can use some of the built-in particle generators like particle world.

Amazing, the bullet´s "tail" is exactly like in the matrix, if the particles were flat and not sphere´s.

Can you please give a link to the "samm shooting" video??

[iUncleBladeYJ]

can you post the download link to download syntheyes?

[denhemligafilmen]

nice

[hilmanazraei]

do i need to render to JPEG Sequence to import to Syntheyes ?

[weikang]

@hilmanazraei You don't have to. Syntheyes should be able to take a wide range of video formats. My video clip just happened to be a QuickTime JPEG sequence.

[Kazeaaze08]

@weikang Soooo.... I can import all the supported files directly without converting my video into a Jpeg Sequence>?

[weikang]

@Kazeaaze08 that's right. Syntheyes should be able to read most common filetypes like mpg, avi, wmv, mov, etc.
