Bullet time, also known as The Matrix Effect, was popularized by the 1999 film, but its origins date all the way back to 1878. That’s right, Eadweard Muybridge photographed galloping horses and showcased them in a bullet time-style way by placing still cameras side by side.
Photographer Sebastian Staacks created his own bullet time video booth using an array of old Canon EOS 400 DSLR cameras that sends the images to a laptop, which automatically generates previews. The cameras are all mounted on a stand, connected to dedicated power supplies, a Raspberry Pi board, laptop, and then a secondary Sony a5000 camera to capture the entire process.

The story of this project begins in 2017 when I created a video booth for my wedding. At many wedding receptions, you can find photo booths, which are simple camera setups with a remote trigger to allow guests to create some memories of the special day. Usually this involves silly props like hats, wigs, and giant glasses and it is as much about creating photos as a memory as it is about the fun of being creative while doing so,” said Stacks.
