Hey guys......quick Q for anyone who might know........How did Vincent Gallo get the shot of him shooting himself in BUFFALO '66 when he was still, the blood projecting from his head was frozen in the air, the gun frozen half way to the ground..........basically a freeze fram but the camera panned around him.....how does the camera move in this situation??? The budget was far too low in this flick for it to be any kind of CGI.......

probably the same way they did it in the Matrix...

a series of linked very high speed digital cameras doing successive frame grabs that, when put together make it look like it pans around a frozen image.

They talk about different ways to do it and such here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet_time
