Title: Help finding video - pretty sure I heard the link on Escape Pod
Post by: spex299 on December 08, 2008, 07:21:58 PM
Hi guys

i have to admit, I have negleted escape pod recently as my ipod is full =[

BUT.....

A while back (like a year) there was an episode with a feature about a japanese short film using new film techniques - filmed in real time then edited to give the appearance of 3D stills.

I'm now trying to find the website/source of these videos for a film studies project!

Anyone able to help?

featured rather freaky white faced "bad guys" who could travel in time...

cheers in advance!

Dave

I don't recall the episode, but...
Are you talking about something like the Matrix variety of Bullet Time (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_time)?
ie. Where the action appears to be frozen (or nearly so), and the camera POV appears to rotate around the scene.

*a bit later*
Are these the guys? - http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/VirtualizedR/www/VirtualizedR.html
I found that link here: http://www.ri.cmu.edu/events/sb35/tksuperbowl.html
The main guy seems to be Takeo Kanade.
