Bullet Time Edit Meaning

1.

A highly sophisticated slow motion special effect technique used to show a bullet in flight. The action is slowed down to show the bullet traveling as it passes through the air. The bullet emits tracer rings to show its path and to show it tearing through the air. This technique was pioneered and made popular in the science-fiction film The Matrix. This technique has since been used in many movies and video games including Max Payne, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Charlie's Angels to name a few examples.

"Man that bullet time stuff is insane!"

"Bullet time kicks ass!"

2.

The slow motioneffect used in many movies and videogames, such as The Matrixand Max Payne. Originally used in hit sci fifilm The Matrix, it is now used often in many places such as PC game Max Payne, Mission: Impossible 2 and on many TV shows.

Neo dived back and avoided the bullets using Bullet Time.

3.

A 'super slo mo' effect, used best in the Matrix films, bullets can be seen travelling through the air, the filming itself is done by filming at 150fps.

4.

The name given to the special effect of a bullet (digitally slowed down) traveling through a computer program called the Matrix in the movie "The Matrix".

Nearly everybody agrees that the most revolutionary technical effect in The Matrix was the use of bullet time, which is the "super slow motion with dynamic camera movement" visual effect used by the Wachowski brothers to stretch and freeze time like taffy during the story. They went on to develop other revolutionary techniques for the Matrix sequels, particularly the "Burly Brawl." But bullet time remains a viewer favorite.

5.

A special effect in movies popularized by the movie "The Matrix". In the movie, time is slowed down so much that the viewer can see very fast moving objects such as bullets. Scientist used this technique to study other fast moving objects such as the famous milkdrop shot.

Bullet time in movies however uses cameras that record at speeds anywhere from 100FPS to 2000FPS and then digitally rendered to creat a desired effect (such as "wave trails" left by bullets).

As far as I know, the earliest non-scientific use of bullet time was in Korn's "Freak on a Leash" music video.

Bullet time allows you to see very fast moving objects.

6.

Max Payne's adrenaline state / hero power in which time appears to slow, bullets have cool trails and Max just gets that little bit angrier...if really possible with those eyebrows.

Max Payne was brought to you by some hella tight guys.

7.

A form of ultra-slow motion mostly based on the principle that motion and time can be seperated. Named for the fact that you can see a bullet frozen in bullet time. Developed by John Gatea and Bill Pope for the Matrixfilm trilogy.

Wanna know what would make dodgeball awesome? If I had bullet time! But then I'd probably steal someone's wallet in midair and fly away.
