They use crushed blacks.

It's a very cool effect. I don't really know. Must be using a 3D camera somehow.

they made a scale model then walked around with a camera. Like star wares. No animals were harmed

you could also go the full cgi way. recreate the scene in 3d and render it out. lots of modelling and texturing work and render power would be required, but it could be done.

if it's just a small one you can do it using a rig of cameras.
thats how the matrix did it.
- with some CG magic for backgrounds in placesanimatedgif

yea, the motion controled rig is so expensive....
i saw freddiew on youtube doing something similar, but not even close to that..
i think you can get away with very good statue posing characters and heavy 3d to sell the time freeze... and some post to cleanup some movements. but anyway...if you dont have bags of money, I would just try something else- I made my own motion control rig the other day: http://bit.ly/l4glSX…
it can be done cheapmtgentry

nice suff in this thread. it's a great effect.
always loved how contrasting it was to the constant morph effect in this video:

This is descibed as “one of the earliest film[s] that experimented time-slice or bullet-time effect filming technic.” Made by Ryoichiro Debuchi using 18 still-cameras arranged in a 360 degree sweep around one central model. The footage was then transferred onto Super 8 and screened at the Pia film Festival in 1982. Quite impressive, but nothing compared to what can be achieved by Timeslice today.

Oldie but a goodie....
Not a freeze, but a nice use of time-slice and bullet-time style....

I think in the last frame they crush the blacks.
