That sounds like a good idea. I did that to some extent, using three lamps arrayed around the subject. What I also did was mount the subject at some distance from the screen (on a thin pole), so that the bulk of the shadow falls far away from the (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation)

I don't mean to assume, but I'm interested in how you did this. Judging by the QT format is it safe to say you used some type of digital video camera (like the every day Hi8 / Digital8 Cameras) and transferred it over firewire to something like (...)

Does anyone know how the person who made BrainDamage did the bullet time effects? (Bullet time is the proper name for the Matrix-style effects) Or does anyone have a good way to do it properly? Thanks. -- Andrew, Agent 0007 (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.animation)
