Bullettime

This was an old photo that I located in iPhoto today. I was trying to recreate that famous bullettime shot from the Matrix in SL. I fired my Colt .45 pistol (by Hiro Pendragon) and ran into posistion. Then I triggered the animation (by Ulrika Zugzwang) and hoped that the perfect shot would come. The main issue was that from my perpestive, I couldn't see the bullets until they were right on me. Therefore, it was very hard to get into a good location in time.

If someone else would buy a gun or borrow mine, I could probably come up with a nice shot for that. Either that, or a static model of the bullet. I'll probably end up creating a series of static models and do a film of the camera panning around the shot while I dodge bullets.
