I think there's a scene in The Matrix where Neo does a bullet dodge in slow-motion and you also see the camera rotate around Neo, what do you call this effect?



For example:




The ____ when Neo dodges bullets in slow-mo was cool.

          It's known by various terms, though the one I've heard used most often is bullet time. There are other names listed there - frozen moment, dead time, flow motion. It's even used in adverts on TV, these days.

          The camera rotation part of the effect is known as an "arc shot." The first five results on on this search results page will give you information on "arc" shots. SamBC has already given you a link for the bullet slowdown effect.

            It's MoCo, or motion control.



            The slowdown is created by filming at high speed but the camera tracking is called "motion control". The term "bullet time" was popularized due to the use of the effect in the movie The Matrix, most uses of motion control (MoCo) don't involve firing bullets or CGI and multiple cameras. Modern MoCo uses one high speed camera mounted on a robotic arm.

            It's more about being able to move the camera precisely along a predetermined course at a predetermined speed in a repeatable manner, than it is about bullets.




            Frozen moment



            Motion control can be used to match camera array shots. Camera Array shots are also known as frozen moment or time-slicing or bullet-time (made famous in The Matrix). Because the camera array represents a moving camera path the same path can be defined in a motion control move. This allows all of the other effects that are possible with motion control to be combined with frozen moments. For example, a live action pass filmed with motion control allows for the insertion of a moving person into a frozen scene.



            Motion control can also be used to get into and out of frozen moment shots seamlessly. A camera move can begin with a motion control move and switch at some point to the camera array. The motion control system moves the motion picture camera's position from a start position to the first position of the camera array, at which point the camera array is triggered. In post production a straight cut joins the two shots.




            Tricky Opening



            Using one take, one bottle, they were able to obtain three shots and refocus the depth of field for each one. This clip was extracted from the Mr. MoCo "Bolt Stiller Show Reel" and was cropped and trimmed to fit within the upload parameters.

This allows all of the other effects that are possible with motion control to be combined with frozen moments. For example, a live action pass filmed with motion control allows for the insertion of a moving person into a frozen scene.



                          Motion control can also be used to get into and out of frozen moment shots seamlessly. A camera move can begin with a motion control move and switch at some point to the camera array. The motion control system moves the motion picture camera's position from a start position to the first position of the camera array, at which point the camera array is triggered. In post production a straight cut joins the two shots.

                          Using one take, one bottle, they were able to obtain three shots and refocus the depth of field for each one. This clip was extracted from the Mr. MoCo "Bolt Stiller Show Reel" and was cropped and trimmed to fit within the upload parameters.

                          It's MoCo, or motion control.



                          The slowdown is created by filming at high speed but the camera tracking is called "motion control". The term "bullet time" was popularized due to the use of the effect in the movie The Matrix, most uses of motion control (MoCo) don't involve firing bullets or CGI and multiple cameras. Modern MoCo uses one high speed camera mounted on a robotic arm.

                          It's more about being able to move the camera precisely along a predetermined course at a predetermined speed in a repeatable manner, than it is about bullets.




                          Frozen moment



                          Motion control can be used to match camera array shots. Camera Array shots are also known as frozen moment or time-slicing or bullet-time (made famous in The Matrix). Because the camera array represents a moving camera path the same path can be defined in a motion control move. This allows all of the other effects that are possible with motion control to be combined with frozen moments. For example, a live action pass filmed with motion control allows for the insertion of a moving person into a frozen scene.



                          Motion control can also be used to get into and out of frozen moment shots seamlessly. A camera move can begin with a motion control move and switch at some point to the camera array. The motion control system moves the motion picture camera's position from a start position to the first position of the camera array, at which point the camera array is triggered.
