300 movie

[merc]

any1 know how they did the fight scenes in 300? i was just thinkin bout it and im puzzled. they couldnt just over crank the camera cuz then it would all be slow motion. it had to be shot at normal speed cuz it goes from slow to fast and normal speeds. do u think they time remap like us low budget film makers do?

I believe they had three cameras ties together, shooting different focal lengths and different film speeds and then the cuts were takes out with CG so it looks like one continuous shot.

I think they used time remaping. Andrew Kramer shows an example of it in is site, www.videocopilot.com
