    Posted by Mari Lopes on December 1, 2009 at 7:40 pm

    Hi there!

    I want to create the famous bullet time effect. I’ve got the sequence of pictures but not sure what to do with them. What software would be better AE or FC? And how do I blend them so the final result looks convincing?

    Thanks a lot!

    there’s a few kind of bullet times.
    -Positional types
    1. all cgi
    2. many cameras circling a green screen then pictures brought into Poser and interpolated into video.
    3. an object as still as possible being photographed from different angles, either being rotated or camera rotating around it in AE.

    -Speed types
    combined timestretched footage either whole frame or interpolated new frames

    Can you string the images together into a sequence, add the footage before and after the bullet-time sequence, then render a clip and post it here?

    Otherwise, we’ll all be speculating.

    Dave – do you have your STOCK ANSWERS posted anywhere? And if not, maybe we should make rumblings to the Cowlords that they SHOULD be somewhere. I’d love to be able to access the wisdom without having to scroll through threads.

    Dave, I know it’s off-topic, but I’d like to nominate Don’t Use AE to Compress h.264 as Stock Answer #3.

    Hey Guys,

    Thanks so much for your answers. I believe I was a bit vague and obviously it’s difficult for you to help me. Will put something together and get back here with more specific questions.

    Thanks a lot!
