Chrisley Tjiputra Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hello, I'm newbie in here and I'm very impressed with The Matrix movies I saw. Here's my question: How they could make such a smooth slow-motion fighting scene with great steadiness? Were they using a high-speed Varicam or was it created by the computer animation? and also can Varicam record in 1000fps? Sorry for the rookie question, and correct me if I'm wrong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Tanner Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 The Matrix was shot on 35mm film not on a Varicam. The fight sequences were shot primarily in front of a green screen and a special rig of still cameras was used to "freeze time". Each of the still photographs were stitched together in post-production to produce a camera move while the action remained "frozen". Backgrounds and virtual sets were created in post production. The Varicam can record at frame rates ranging from 4fps to 60fps. Respectfully, Jeff Tanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
