There’s good piece on Michel Gondry in today’s Telegraph.
I wasn’t aware that Gondry invented the “bullet camera” effect popularized by the Matrix series, in which the cinematographer makes it look like a subject is frozen and the camera is panning around it. It’s achieved by splicing together frames taken at the same moment by multiple cameras from multiple perspectives, which are then sequenced to give the illusion that the viewer is moving around the subject, rather than just switching from camera to camera. You can see Gondry pioneering the technique in this Rolling Stones video.
