For those who don't want to spend 3 minutes figuring out what Gary is talking about:
"Bullet time" is a movie effect where time is frozen but the camera pans around the scene.
Some guys hooked up Pis (48) with cameras in a circle. The cameras take a picture at the same time
and you can "rotate" the image of what's in the circle.
I think the time lapse mentioned at the end is more interesting because the bullet time sim uses a
stationary object. Speeding up slow things (or likewise, slowing down fast things) sounds more fun
to me.
(Now if you wanted to bullet time the earth, at <1m resolution and >30fps, that would be fun. But
it's hard to do in a weekend. (Applications at
