bullet time

Max Payne's adrenaline state / hero power in which time appears to slow, bullets have cool trails and Max just gets that little bit angrier...if really possible with those eyebrows.
Max Payne was brought to you by some hella tight guys.

bullet time

The name given to the special effect of a bullet (digitally slowed down) traveling through a computer program called the Matrix in the movie "The Matrix".

also see: Burly Brawl, Super Burly Brawl
Nearly everybody agrees that the most revolutionary technical effect in The Matrix was the use of bullet time, which is the "super slow motion with dynamic camera movement" visual effect used by the Wachowski brothers to stretch and freeze time like taffy during the story. They went on to develop other revolutionary techniques for the Matrix sequels, particularly the "Burly Brawl." But bullet time remains a viewer favorite.

bullet time

A form of ultra-slow motion mostly based on the principle that motion and time can be seperated. Named for the fact that you can see a bullet frozen in bullet time. Developed by John Gatea and Bill Pope for the Matrix film trilogy.
Wanna know what would make dodgeball awesome? If I had bullet time! But then I'd probably steal someone's wallet in midair and fly away.

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

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

Bullet-Time blew peoples minds when it was first used.

bullet time battle

Bullet time battles aka BTB’s are a class trial minigame in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.

They’re the most difficult minigame and don’t require much logic. You play a BTB by locking onto an opponents argument then shooting it to destroy it.
Person A: I’m playing danganronpa 1 and I can’t get past the first class trial. I’m almost done with it though.

Person B: are you having trouble playing the bullet time battle?
Person A: yeah
Person B: those suck.
