In collaboration with Timeslice Films, Rip Curl took on an ambitious bullet-time campaign shoot in Malaysia's Sunway Lagoon Wavepool with lead surfers Mick Fanning, Stephanie Gilmore, Owen Wright and Matt Wilkinson.

The revolutionary campaign captures surfing in a way never seen before, with the final visuals baring more resemblance to a fight scene from the famous Matrix movies than a promotional surfing video.

The two-day rental of Sunway Lagoon Wavepool allowed Rip Curl and Timeslice to operate in a more stable environment than the open ocean offers. The Rip Curl surfers were repeatedly towed into the machine-controlled waves by Jetski and their operational space was determined by the 52-camera rig set up in the pool.

  • @kristinamanda - Bullet Time

  • So if I buy a pair of Ripcurl boardshorts I can surf as good as thes guys? Thats cool cause I cant even swim

  • @MrEvoian Yeah but it looks so much better, really not sold on 3D technology.

  • What do you call the 3D like effect achieved by this technique? Been searching all over the net for it!

  • Oh wait... were we supposed to be looking at the shorts?

  • Absolute quality , appreciate the effort that goes into making a film like this

  • @deancostello14 3d is much easier as only requires a couple of cams- timeslice takes more in the region of 20 to 40 cams and takes longer to edit.

  • Sunway Lagoon is in Malaysia.

  • The track is 'Sugar Shards' by AHEADPHONEHOME

  • i'll give you all a hint as to how its done. you'll need to buy about 100 cameras ;)
