instead of using 'digital' stand ins for complex shots (ie, what they've done for spiderman, attack of the clones etc etc) they have in fact shot the actor on film with cameras all around him (including above).
a piece of software then makes up the angles that weren't shot (otherwise youd need thousands of cameras to get every single angle aroound the actor).
so now, you have almost a virtual reality shot of a REAL actor doing this thing.
SO NOW, they can add heaps of Agent Smiths fighting Neo, all of which (I'm not sure how often) are actually the real actor.
There are cheap versions of this software available that can do a similar thing out of 2 photos of say an apple at a different angle. Then you can get a semi-3D effect without the use of any "real" 3D app.
make sense? i sure cant understand myself...
