There is the possibility of using After Effects or Final Cut Pro to squeeze out some extra frames from your bullet time footage to make it smoother -but depending on the number of cameras used- this could result in unwanted visual artifacts being introduced into the resulting footage. Lighting those setups is not trivial, and if the model can not pose still (and most cant) there are some ghosting effects. Using the same camera sync technology as our GoPro Array, TimeSliceвЂ™s range of VR camera systems are unique and versatile. This enables a single shot to capture the model from all angles, and to compose a bullet-time like short video. The scheduler runs each process every single time-slice. It is timeframe for which process is allotted to run in preemptive multitasking CPU.

The speed of your bullet time shot is also a factor that will affect your cost, as it will take more cameras to achieve smooth motion in a shot that rotates around the subject more slowly. DP Mitch Martinez uses an array of 48 Canon DSLR cameras to create a full 360В° circle around a model. 3D Photography Forum Community Main 3D Area Member 3D Photos People & Human Interest 1st 3D timeslice lenticular photo from my 12x A560 rig. A time slice is short time frame that gets assigned to process for CPU execution. If you're looking to go with DSLR's instead, this number balloons to about $3,000 to $4,000 and possibly more, all depending on where you rent from, and which model of DSLR and lens you decide to go with. Assuming you're going to rent the same number of cameras as Indy Mogul (27) for a few days, you're looking at a little over $1,000 to about $1700 for renting GoPro 3's (not including shipping). Of course the biggest cost is going to be renting cameras. The tutorial is a bit dated (circa 2007), but all the construction information is still relevant, and the instructions for assembling the shutter control switch box could be adapted for remote shutter releases on more current cameras.ДЄs for the expenses involved, the cost of the parts in the Indy Mogul rig would run about $300 (assuming you have all the necessary tools already).

For instructions on how to accomplish this, and for more details on putting together the rig itself, I suggest checking out 'How to Enter the Ghetto Matrix (DIY Bullet Time)' on Instructables.

However, if you want to do a long exposure to add light painting effects as in the above video -or just want the latitude that working with a series of RAW images would give you in post- you won't be able to avoid building a trigger system. For those cameras that don't record audio when shooting slow motion you could ostensibly sync them manually, using the clapper as a guide to sync your shots visually. On the second and third day, we managed to complete the rest of the shots.What I like about Indy Mogul's setup, is that they bypass the common problem of triggering each of the cameras simultaneously using a fairly simple method. We managed to shoot only one shot of three-second duration. On the first day, it took all day just to understand how it works. In a day we could shoot only three shots. вЂњFor each shot, the 50 cameras had to be rigged and placed at a separation of one degree. Unlike other booths, the Time/Slice photo rig can handle large groups that. A total of 24 seconds were shot over three days for Chauka and the cost added up to `34 lakh making it the most expensive seconds in Kannada films.Дirector Sudheer said it was a time consuming process. The ingster experiential Time/Slice experience merges photography and video. The 50 cameras were hired from a company in Singapore. But it never gets the effect that is meant to show.

Made famous in HollywoodвЂ™s Matrix series, the prohibitive expenses involved has kept it away from Indian films.ДЄ cheaper alternative is to get the actors to hang from ropes mid-air and use a single camera to go around them. Screentest of a homemade timeslice rig using 15 cameras in a circle. Such shots have been used in only a few Indian films including Boys, Anniyan and Dabangg 2.
