    So I’ve been working on this film and I want to know if there are any techniques to freeze time…yet the camera still moves within the frozen world. I’ve seen it done in a few movies, and I can’t think of any at the moment but I was wondering if anybody had any ideas to how this could be done…maybe with after affects?

    If you don’t want to do it with cameras (although renting a bunch may be affordable), here’s how you would do it:

    The first video gets into the tutorial towards the end. The second video is an example of a bunch of cool ones.

    Basically, a lot of cutting out, cloning, and using a puppet tool to fake motion.

    You can also create displacement maps like this:

    But that can only be taken so far before it breaks down. If you want to travel a long distance, I’m afraid you’ll need the cameras like Dave said.
