Bullet Time
Have you ever wondered how do they really make this video effect (slowing time to see the details, that is)? You might have encountered this really awesome ability in the Max Payne video game, The Matrix movie trilogy (of course), in Enter The Matrix and Matrix Online video games and in newer games like Gears of War, Area 51, Crysis and many other games. It appears in a few varied forms with even more interesting names, but it is literally the same old "bullet time" trick. Why do they call it bullet time? Because the time speed gets so slow under this effect that one can see and dodge bullets after they have been fired and moving slowly towards their target. The catch is that the main character in the game or the movie can move at bullet speed when compared to the maximum speed a normal person can reach. In the video below you see how this effect was achieved in the Matrix movies.
