Sweet. I always wanted to know how they did the effect in Matrix. Thanks!

I came across this video on the front page of Youtube today. I'm not particularly impressed with the content of the video itself, but a 'scene' caught my eye. At 0:12 to 0:14 seconds, there is this distinct 3D look, as if the girls have been frozen in time while we look at them through different angles. I'm really curious how they did this. For example, one girl is mid-air and another has her hair sticking up all whilst the camera pans the room. There is a similar scene afterward at 0:18 to 0:20 seconds, where the girls look frozen (but the objects in the room are moving in slow mo) while the camera pans the room quickly. Does anyone know or have any idea of how they created this 3D effect? I've been stabbing guesses here and there but I've honestly gone nowhere. I guess I don't really have an eye for these sort of things, so if anyone can lead me in the right direction, I'd be oh so thankful.

Changed! Sorry about that. I guess it's a bad habit. Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I've got some polystyrene foam lying around the house and am planning to experiment with those later. Do you think I could get away with using those bounce boards to get similar lighting from this video? I really like that the room is really bright and filled with light, yet it looks natural on the model. Every time I use sunlight in a room, I get unnatural overexposure from the window and on the people inside. Do you know how I could get more even lighting like the video posted? Thanks again Phil! I just ordered a Pentax M 50mm 1:1.7 lens so hopefully that does the trick. Thanks!

Hi all, I'm wondering what I would need to do (video editing, lens type, camera settings etc.) to get a similar look as these Korean commercial films: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0ee9HZWSjo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypv-eSNyTwo I really like the "soft look" (there aren't really any rough edges) these commercials give, and would like to know how to replicate a similar effect with my Pentax KX. If anyone could give me some advice and lead me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Many thanks!
