His zoopraxiscope was the direct inspiration for Thomas Edison's moving pictures. Muybridge later assembled the pictures into a rudimentary animation, by placing them on a glass disk which he spun in front of a light source. Each camera was actuated by a taut string stretched across the track as the horse galloped past, the camera shutters snapped, taking one frame at a time (the original intent was to settle a bet the governor of California had made, as to whether or not all four of the animal's legs would leave the ground). Eadweard Muybridge used still cameras placed along a racetrack to take pictures of a galloping horse. Bullet Time was also used in computer games such as Max Payne and Enter the Matrix, where it allows the player to slow the game world down but still look and aim at normal speed.Īntecedents to Bullet Time occurred before the invention of cinema itself. It was also later used in a commercial by The Gap and popularized by the film The Matrix to the point where most contemporary uses of it are parodies of, homages to, or ripoffs of The Matrix. The first example of Bullet Time can be found in the obscure 1981 action film Kill and Kill Again. The pictures in the still cameras are then displayed consecutively and spliced into movie frames, creating the effect of a single camera moving around a scene either frozen in time or moving incredibly slowly. In film, television and advertising, the effect is achieved by a set of still cameras surrounding the subject which are activated in rapid succession. It is often used to stop action at a dramatic point so that the audience can see a panoramic or surround view around the event being emphasized. The difference between this and a regular Slow Motion shot is that, in bullet time, the camera moves (often a significant portion of a full circle) around the subject rather than a static or simple tracking shot. It is a convenient way to depict Super Reflexes, by allowing the audience to experience the same powers of enhanced perception that the character is using to react to danger. The projectiles may also leave visible streaks and trails as they fly through the air.
