If I was to go round an actor with my camcorder with out using loads of still cameras but instead just getting the actor to move slowly and then slowed it down even more to give it that smooth floating feeling would this work well.

cant say for sure, but as the big studios know, there is only one way to find out...test it first before you commit to it. i think that it would be really simple to try, since it sounds so simple.


let us know your results.

later

i just did a bullet time clip with an action figure using 97 still shot (and only my camera and tripod. ) turned out nice.


for live action bullet time, try getting on a bike or something, let someone steer you around the actor, while filming teh actor, get him to move slowly. should produce a similar effect?
