bullet time 

super slow-mo effect {slow enough for the audience to see a bulet breaking through the air as it travels, hence the name} pioniered in the hit film "The Matrix".
The effect is created by filming a short scene against a green background using two video cameras and a lot of stills cameras. The images are then added to a computer generated background and then using computers the audience can be spun 360 degres around the action, showing great amounts of detail.
Watch the matrix... also view the bullet time documentry also on the matrix DVD and possibly at the end of the VHS

Bullet Time 

a slow motion action sequence involving guns in a film. Many people believe that The Matrix was the first to do it but actually the vampire movie Blade with Wesley snipes did it first a year before the Matrix. After Blade The Matrix came out & everybody was blown away because they never seen it done so many times in a film.
Guy 1: yo you seen the Matrix? Dem slow motion sequences was the shit!

Guy: nah man that Bullet Time was pioneered by Blade. GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT!

Bullet-time 

A state of mind in which one speeds up their own reactions to a point where their own sense of time is altered and the world around them seems to have slowed. This causes the illusion that laws such as gravity have been bent, and the air around you feel like water, because you cant move or fall any faster than normal. People who can manipulate this can accomplish incredible feats that are seemingly impossible to do in real-time.
(Note: Bullet time is measured in relation to the speed of a bullet, hence the name.)
I was fighting these dudes, and then they pulled out guns. Then i went into bullet time; they never saw me coming.

bullet-time 

1. An effect created by putting many digital cameras in either a circle or any shape you want and filming what happens inside, thus allowing you to create the effect that there is one camera moving around and around the object or objects.

2. Any scene in entertainment that involves slow motion and bullet time.

(As seen in films like "The Matrix" and "Kung-Pow: Enter the fist"
Bullet-Time blew peoples minds when it was first used.
