[Mark Suszko] “This effect would be awesome for wedding shoots in scenes like leaving the church, tossing the bouquet, etc.”
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times… what every wedding video needs…. more bullet time!
Haha… that’d probably be the one wedding video I’d ever watch.

Because it’s not always me who’s doing the editing. Sometimes I get it all shot and then it gets sent to an editor and I don’t see a final until its done. If I have a small rough version I can edit together really quick on the iPhone, I have a version to send to the editor so they already know what the final will look like – over a couple days, I’ll forget which shots are which or what I shot. Plus, I can do the edit on the ride home.
Also, it would allow me to have a visual reference so I don’t have to wait for video from the editor. Kinda like using video dailies from a film shoot. Hmmm, can we make the iPhone record from a data stream or hook it to some kinda video out? 😉 I bet that’s do-able.

OK, I’ve been shooting for ten years, and “bullet time” is a term I’ve never heard. What does it mean?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_time
“Bullet time is a special and visual effect that refers to a digitally-enhanced simulation of variable-speed (i.e. slow motion, time-lapse, etc) photography used in films, broadcast advertisements, and video games. It is characterized both by its extreme transformation of time (slow enough to show normally imperceptible and unfilmable events, such as flying bullets) and space (by way of the ability of the camera angle—the audience’s point-of-view—to move around the scene at a normal speed while events are slowed)…”

Boy, that audio enhancement really adds to that scene, Fernando. There is no way that bullet wouldn’t rip through concrete and steel.

EXT DAY – CHURCH
Wedding party exits church. POV shifts to BULLET TIME mode. As well-wishers begin to throw rice, bride ducks and groom leans backward in EXTREME SLO MO as he writhes and contorts to duck the deadly rice pellets. CAMERA whip arcs around frozen-in-time groom as BULLET TIME contiunes, rice pellets approach and whiz past camera as groom remains motionless, save for the blowing and waving of his floor-length leather formalwear in the breeze.
Released DOVES cross the frame, their wings flapping in SLO MO.
HARD CUT to CU of GROOM’s face as he enters frame…
GROOM (startled)
Whoaaaaa!!!T2

“There is no limo”.
Seriously, though, the “frozen moment” effect of bullet-time is a great way to create a little tableaux of a moment like exiting the church and throwing the bouquet or the first dance. The way I always imagined staging it is to hand disposable cameras to the crowd outside and have them all try to hit the shutter on the same mark. Then scan in all the developed shots and try to match them up.

That train one sparked my creative juices, thanks for posting!!!
