We can vary when each camea fires at will. So for example in the Trinity Kick if you look you can see her arms and fingers moving, all of our "Flo-Mo" sequences were actually running forward in time (no stills), just at immensly fast frame rates, I think some of them were virtually 1000fps. We then used lots of bits of software to do interpolation, and even some paint work to clean it up. The most amazing of them all as far as technology goes, is in the sequence where Laurence Fishburn gets shot in the leg was done from something silly like 6 original frames of film. We have an amazing crew of VFX folks here! -Crh Charles Henrich Manex Visual Effects henrich@flnet.com http://orbit.flnet.com/~henrich To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
