Re: Printing Frames from DV

"David McCall" wrote ... 
Muybridge used an array of still cameras for his work
with horses. The funny thing is that his setup was almost
the same as is used for the "bullet time " effect. Rather
than firing all of the cameras at the same time, he used
a trip wire for each camera. As the horse moved by it
would hit the wires and trigger the cameras in sequence.


Firing the cameras all at the same time would not have
accomplished what Muybridge was seking (motion
analysis).

OTOH, firing an array of displaced cameras all at once
is exactly the effect first seen in "The Matrix" where the
camera appears to "move" around a stop-action scene. They used a big array of cheap 35mm still cameras, all
bolted to a curved pipe.
