	Bullet time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bullet time (often hyphenated as bullet-time) is a concept introduced in recent films and computer games whereby the passage of time is displayed as extremely slow or frozen moments in order to allow a viewer to observe imperceptibly fast events (such as flying bullets).
		Bullet time became popularized when John Gaeta and team expanded it temporally and into the digital arena through the incorporation of frame interpolation and image based CGI within the film The Matrix (1999) and through view-morphing techniques pioneered by the company BUF in music videos by Michel Gondry and commercials for, among others, The Gap.
		Bullet time has been used in computer games such as Max Payne (2001), Max Payne 2 (2003) and Enter the Matrix (2003), and The Path of Neo (2005) where it would allow the player to slow down the game-world, but still allows the ability to look and aim at normal speed.

	Urban Dictionary: bullet time
		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).
		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.
		In the movie, time is slowed down so much that the viewer can see very fast moving objects such as bullets.

	Bloodthirst Forums -> Bullet Time
		A vamp on the other side of a map could be timing an ambush on an oncoming slayer, but since the bullet time was activated, it threw him off just as he was going to attack.
		That way, the bullet time will not effect everyone in the map but just the very few players that are in that location.
		You will see those two players in the distance slow down due to bullet time but you are moving normally yourself as you are out of the area of effect.

		This Tutorial is based on The Matrix key effect "Bullet Time." By using Keyframes it is relatively easy to set up the shot, however if you want to use the effect without Keyframes (e.g.
		You now have time at a stand still to use for the effect shot, save your work now as a separate file so you don't lose the original keyframes.
		All of the cameras take a shot at once (or in sequence over a very short time) tacking a shot at the same time means that the subject can be frozen in time.

	Matrix-style ‘bullet-time’ in multiplayer gaming - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
		The maximum time a char can stay is based on the media of the lag on the server, so you cannot enter bullet time for how long you want, this could work and players will sync up as always because of the normal lag of the server.
		And by bullet time I mean allowing one player's game to slow down to allow the player more time to respond to the game, as described in the article.
		Also if you didn't have a real time game, you could do bullet time by letting the player with bullet time execute more turns per update than the rest of the players, even most strategy games these days are real time though.

	Annotate Bullet time in multiplay
		It'd be fine being in bullet time when you're under heavy enemy fire, but not so good when someone else is in bullet time and you're just trying to run down a corridor.
		So there`s no explaining needed on what bullet time is. (slowmotion, slow enough to see the bullet and it`s slipstream).
		It would result in slowing down the whole game whenever 1 person goes into bullet time.

	disinformation the matrix: what is bullet time?
		Neo escapes the Matrix onto the plane of consistency, where time is "Aeon." He stops conceiving himself as a transcendent subject moving through time and space on the plane of organisation, where time is "Chronos", and begins to understand that he exists immanently - a haeccity.
		the indefinite time of the event, the floating line that knows only speed and continually divides that which transpires into an already — there that is at the same time not-yet--here, a simultaneous two-late and too-early, a something that is both going to happen and has just happened.
		The plane of consistency, the location reflexively opposite to the Matrix, is "the absolute state of movement as well as rest from which all relative speeds and slowness spring a kind of molecular [sea swell].

		But when in bullet time, the frames between each other will be exptremely smooth, and everything will be in extreme slow mo. This is like in usual time when it's 1 million frames per second, you're slowing down everything a lot, but the frame rate is still excellent.
		When he says 1 million frames per second, he actually means that if you were to watch in usual time the bullet time action without it being in bullet time, there would be 1 million frames per second.
		I could be completely wrong, but here's what I think it means:

	G4 - Feature - Beyond Bullet Time
		"Bullet time," the effect first seen on the big screen in the movie, quickly popped up in other movies and in television commercials.
		Virtual cinematography goes beyond bullet time in "Reloaded." Take, for example, a scene in which Neo takes on 100 Agent Smiths in a martial arts melee dubbed the "burly brawl."
		The scene starts with real-life actors, but by the time the fight's in full swing, it's all computer graphics: 100 Agent Smiths fighting Neo, all meticulously modeled after the real people.

	The Matrix Trilogy Revisited: Sculpting in Bullet Time
		At the same time, Christians should note that the film as a whole is very far from supporting anything like a gnostic or world-denying contempt for physicality or the body.
		With the complete Matrix trilogy now on DVD and video, perhaps the time has come for one last look at the Wachowski brothers’ brainchild.
		The heroes of The Matrix are precisely those who have chosen to reject a comforting, disembodied illusion for the freedom of corporeal existence in the physical world, with all its rough edges and sharp corners.

	Amazon.co.uk: Doctor Who: Bullet Time (Doctor Who S.): Books
		I've criticised the previous PDA 'Rags' for it's lack of involvement of the Doctor, but the same accusations shouldn't be made against 'Bullet Time' as it feels right to have this Doctor working in the background and out of sight to his own motivations and reasons.
		'Bullet Time' is an worthy novel which is certainly McIntee's best BBC book since 'The Face Of The Enemy.' The Seventh Doctor PDA books have frequently been disappointing, but this one doesn't disappoint.
		This is the Seventh Doctor of the New Adventures here (even down to the cream suit.) Dark, manipulative and someone whom Sarah has a hard time believing is the same person who was once her friend McIntee characterises the Doctor well despite the infrequency of his appearances.

	IGN: Bullet Time 2.0
		With the new Bullet Time, when Max is in a combat situation and taking out multiple enemies in a row, he goes "deeper into the zone." His actions become slightly faster and everyone else becomes slightly slower, giving Max an advantage.
		Initially we were building Bullet Time "zones" into the game, where we had rooms and combat scenarios that would take place completely in slow-motion and time would only return back to normal once the combat was over.
		For example, the game world gets shaded with a sepia tone while in Bullet Time and there are new gameplay elements tied into it like the spinning reload that make combat look even more cinematic.

		The old Bullet Time rig had produced the illusion that reality was a big CAD file, but it was just an effect, not a three-dimensional world that could be manipulated as easily as if it really was a CAD file.
		Those oft-imitated shots - now universally known as Bullet Time - required serpentine arrays of meticulously aligned cameras, and months of planning, for a brief scene featuring two or three actors.
		But by the time the melee is in full effect, everyone and everything on the screen is computer-generated - including the perspective of the camera itself, steering at 2,000 miles per hour and screaming through arcs that would tear any physical camera apart.

		Genius of the music video, he also pioneered "bullet time" for a Smirnoff's commercial long before it became a Hollywood staple.

		Acording to an article in Videomaker magazine (June 2001 - "Magic Morphing" by Scott Anderson) the first example of bullet time was made in 1980 by an art student: Tim Macmillian.
