Re: [photo-3d] "3d" action freeze (HELP!!!)

[Dan Vint <dvint@xxxxxxxx>]

If you can get a copy of the Matrix movie on DVD there is an included
making of the movie segment. They show the similar effect was achieved with 
the required blue screens to hide the cameras from each other as well as the
several hundred Nikon cameras that were computer controlled to shoot
a forwards and backwards sequence - pretty cool stuff, now if I only had a
couple of hundred Nikons lying around!
