Trivia: The cutting-edge "bullet time" effect was achieved by arranging 120 still cameras around the subject on a green-screen stage. Every camera would take a photo in sequence over a (very) short span of time, and the photos were then arranged, creating the illusion that time was slowed down and the camera was moving inhumanly fast. Early frame-interpolation software was also used to smooth the shot, since gaps between the cameras made the movement a bit jittery. A CGI background was then added.
