The 360 Project (via Creative Review)

There is hardly much difference here between Michel Gondry's 'bullet-time' technique (or his genius brother Olivier Gondry's music video 'You Gonna Want Me'), but the results are crisp and well done. 48 cameras in a circle capturing dancers in motion. From Ryan Enn Hughes, the photographer:

“The 360 Project” is an exploration into the crossroads of photography and motion pictures. It is a study of peak dance movements, captured simultaneously by 48 cameras aligned in a circle. There are two components to “The 360 Project” – “Ballet 360” features ballerinas from Canada’s National Ballet School, “Krump 360” features dancers from Northbuck Krump. The two styles of dance represent polemic perspectives in both technique and origin – one is beauty, the other beast. The resulting images resemble a type of digital statue – a frozen, peak moment, embodying the essence of each dance form in 360 degrees.
