Matrix bullet-time test

A short clip of a gun being fired and the camera moving around the bullet like the matrix bullet-time effect. I added a little rotation to the bullet, so it's not fully bullet-time, but more like really slow motion...

Created with FXhome Effectslab PRO, Photoshop and 3Ds MAX

TUTORIAL!

[Pyromarius]

I took pictures of my bedroom, photoshopped them into a panorama picture. Then I made a bullet in 3ds max and rendered a clip with of the bullet rotating. Then I took a picture of me holding a gun from 3rd and 1st person persepctive and removed the background. I used After Effects to animate the "1st person" pic out of the screen, zoomed in on the panorama pic, moved it from right to left and the "3rd person" pic into the scene. I added the bullet and made a muzzle flash in FXhome Visionlab.

how did u achieve that trail effect due to which part around the gun sorts of blurs when the muzzle flash appears and also how did u achieve the freeze time effect.plz tell the details

[Pyromarius]

I used an effect called displacement map in my program Effectslab to create the heatwave from the gun. For the freeze effect I took a lot of images of my room and composed them together as a panorama shot. Then I took a picture of me holding a gun from two angles. Then I made a bullet in 3Ds Max and composed it all together.

I think you're onto something. That could really be great in a short film or something.

@backtublive How observant. Have you considered a job as Sherlock Holmes?

[thecomputerist]

@Pyromarius you should really work on the bullet, but the moving thing was mind blowing, i thought that you had to have a whole set of cameras around you

dude see my matrix video

[backtublive]

fail ... your hand/gun does not move ...

[MudReactor]

The only thing I really find actually crappy about this video and another one of yours that I've seen is the slide not coming back when the gun is fired... I just cant ignore that.... Im sorry. But it looks cool other than that.
