Matrix Effect Photo Booth, lets you make
a
short leap (literally) into the world of
special effects
made famous in the popular film The
Matrix. You know the one I mean, where
the movement freezes in mid air but the
viewer i.e. camera, rotates around the
static action pose.
Instead
of a small private cubicle that
barely holds one person, this booth is
more spacious to accommodate the array
of cameras, and has a few props that you
can use to spice up your action.
It's a tad more expensive to use than a
simple passport booth, but you get a
unique set of images burned unto dvd to
take away and enjoy.

Portable (sort of) multi-camera effects using cheap digital cameras. [jutta, Jul 14 2008]

But the problem with those booths is the timer always triggers the camera at the wrong time. You'd leap in the air, hold the pose and end up with a 360 degree film of you landing awkwardly on your ass. |

Bun anyway, because it would be amusing to see other peoples. |

[2fries]: How did you do that? You moved like them! |

I think we can all thank our lucky stars
that there is no -- at least as far as I
know, and I haven't looked -- Matrix-
Effect p0rn... |

The set-up they used in the movie was a large (like maybe 40' or larger) circular tub lined with color-key in order to get a good distance shot away from the subject. You might have to use a very wide-angle lens on every camera. Either way, I'm sure you'd want to be at least 10'-15' away from your subject so as not to make them look distorted by the lens (and that's 10-15' away from the subject all the way around them...so a great big circular area). I'm just thinking that this would be one heck of a 'photo booth', i.e. not something that would easily fit into, say, a small corner of a shopping mall or something. |

I could see something like this at a fair or outdoor event though. I'm thinking it would have to be constructed on the spot, then torn down and moved (or else made in a permanent installation where people would go to get such a shot done). |

I was in Valencia recently and they had something similar to this in a fab looking museum . You stood in a room surrounded by a ring of digital cameras, there was a countdown, you jumped/held up your friend/or generally did something silly, and then they super-imposed you into a rotating tornado scene. I waved my memory stick at her, and through a combination of poor english and mime she explained that It couldn't be downloaded yet but that they were working on it (Maybe next year). It was a static picture of you though and it was only the tornado that was moving - so not quite what your describing. I hope they add this aswell it would be even better. It was fun, we did it 3 or 4 times. It took a few minutes for the computer to create the short film. Which reminds me I haven't looked at the video we took of the tv screen, to see how it came out. |

Needs a tardis effect inside photo booth (re: humanzee's comment and props, supporting cast requirement) |
|
| |
This is a brilliant idea. |

A traffic circle could contain this. |

I would like a few runs in the booth ... Picking up son (2yo) and holding him up in the air nose to nose, (matrix effect). He always giggles so much when I hold him up like that. It would be nice to see him so happy from so many angles. |

After catching a few highlights of last years Super Bowl, I could have sworn I saw a "Bullet Time" effect there. If you are really desperate to have your very own “Matrix Effect” record of yourself, you could try a mid-game strip. Although you will probably get arrested... |
|

There would definitely be a market for this, but I feel the cost would outweigh the savings with current technology. |

Can we have a unique set of images turned into a lenticular lens version of a standard passport photo ? You could even scale the idea down a bit and just have a few cameras at differnt angles to create a 3D head for the lenticular printout. |

What am I saying !? We want the full Matrix effect saved onto a microSD embedded into the back of a flexible epaper display with an induction coil that can activate playback. Just stick on passport. |
