How to/ Bullet time (sorta)

[g_shocker182]

I want to achieve a sort of bullet time sequence in a movie I'm making. It won't be like the spiral-deal in the matrix, I'll just move my camera around someone, then in editting I'll slow the video down to about 1/2. Here, I want to add a(n artificial) bullet flying through the air, towards the camera, like the rooftop scene in Matrix 1. What I want to know is what software will I need for this. I want to be able to do frame by frame editting but I don't know where to get any of those types of programs. Can anyone suggest any?

TIA

Not a very detailed guide. Doesn't explain a lot of the steps.

What about frame-by-frame editting software?

you mean like in Shake or fusion or RAYZ or Flame or Combustion or DS ?

it would take a bit of explaination ..

i just went through Satish 's explaination -- seems detailed enough -- but you can download the veg file and work with it -- which is pretty self explaining also ....

Most of it I can deal with, but the "morphing" is confusing. I'll try it again.

Can't afford any of those programs you stated.
