I dont know if everyone was stupid as me when they were young enough to play on swings but, I used to spin the swing around and around and let go and it would spin me around and it would be lots of fun.

You could do a similar thing to a camera attached to a rope which si attached to the ceiling.

I am not sure if its this effect you want but its my natural assumptoin based on the fact that I havent seen the movie and your post.

Good luck

no, it was kinda "frozen in time" like the matriz effects, but it was definitely not done with special effects. the movie only cost about a million to make.

Great flick. But if you look close, you can see the actors moving juuust a little. They froze themselves while the camera swung around them.

uh-uh, I'm sure they didn't. As I remember the film (it's been a while since I saw it), doesn't the camera revolve around the blood spurting from the guy who gets shot?

For my money they used the timeslice system based on 24 mirrors positioned in an arc around the subject.

uh, i thought the blood looked really fake, as if it was a plastic model of blood. and the blood didn't move, it just stayed still. so i'm still supporting the idea that they just stayed put and had the camera revolve around him.
