Just downloaded a copy of the new Hadlow movie Revolve, excellent riding, but the standard of filming and editing is exceptional. Does anybody know how they achieve the "Matrix" style effects like slow motion freeze while the back ground is still moving at real time and then the camera angle rotates 90 degrees around the rider?

yeah both his new films, Revolve and Invent they use the same camera techs.

They achieve that matrix affect with the background still going in real time by using 2 cameras and over lapping the 2 shots with one camera shot going in slow-mo and the other in real time to get that effect.

also with the camera rotation, its the same they have used 2 cameras and to get the affect that it is swiveling around him. (they have blurred the shot from one camera to the other to get the affect you are looking for.)

hope this helps.

or if you want you can cut a section from the one camera and overlap it on to it's real time counter part, requires lots of manual editing.

Yeah, thanks, makes my movie making and editing look vary amateurish. Will need to upgrade to keep up with their new techniques.

yeah you will

also get a camera with a good frame rate other wise when you try to get this affect it will look like ****ehouse

I believe it is actually done with one camera & all at 25fps. (normal speed) The slow-mo is done through software where it tries to calculate the in between frames giving a smooth slow-mo look. The foreground slow-mo action is then rotoed or cut out & treated as a separate element, where as the bg element is used a normal speed & then all composited back together. Its a time consuming effect to do as you need to do a fair bit of work to make the two main elements to sit together.

Andy might have done it a little differently to that, but I'm pretty sure he only used one camera for the slow-mo stuff. Thats how I would do it anyway

hey dude where did u d/l it from?

the slow mo can be done with After effects and a plugin called twixtor

Does anyone know what music track is used near the end- the one with the sweet bass line and phat horns?

what movie? Revolve? tell me which movie and ill get back to you

The song you are looking for is: The National Anthem by Radiohead and its off the album " Kid A "

hope this helps,
