_that_ effect.

[P3D Wolfie! <werewolf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've seen an effect used in recent commercials, a car commercial and
a twisties [australian] commercial. I saw the same effect in a country
music video.

what happens is that a person or thing is frozen [usually in mid air] and
somehow the camera pans around the person, although not really 3D, it does
give a 3D feel. [similar to what people would call 3D in a lot of polygon
type games].

so does anyone have an idea of how it's done?

My theory is that they have 30 cameras or so in half a circle and they all
fire at once, the frames are scanned into computer and made into an
animation. 

Take Care!
