    Decided to try recreating the bullet time effect in The Matrix. And although I am rather pleased with my results, I am never, ever, EVER going to do it again. Its fucking tedious to make that effect

    Original

    Now, I know that the ripples coming from the agent's bullet don't look quite as good as the ripples from the bullet going past him, that's because I did the agent's bullet first and was still perfecting the effect. I didn't redo it because, as I said, it is a pain in the fucking ass to do. So deal with it

    Also, the bullet going past him isn't huge, it's in the foreground. I tried adding DoF but it didn't look good.

    Special thanks to Ilwrath for hacking that sexy Deagle for me! :keke:

    In this pack.

    The only thing is, they have an FBI tag on their chest and they don't have the tie clip or glasses.

    Foreshortening?

    Good pic, any chance of a tutorial on how to make the ripple effects considering how tedious it was?

    That's right, the sunglasses and tie clip are hand drawn :3:

    The reason there is no shell is because the slide is only just beginning to cycle. Look at how close the bullet is, there's no way the shell would already be in the air when the bullet has only moved a foot or two.

    Muzzleflash is way too overdone.

    I didn't say for the first time, I said again. I've seen all the matrix movies multiple times, I just got a little inspiration from re-watching them.

    Try watching it again. I'm no good at editing or posing, but when I see movies, I have lots of inspiration.
