Matrix Table Tennis
Have you ever watched a Matrix table tennis game? If not, you are in for a treat. These clips can found all over the Internet today, including places such as youtube and myspace. They are also available at many tennis table online clubs. But what are they, you may be asking?
If you have seen the popular Matrix films then you already know the special effects that were so much a part of those movies. In many scenes, the special effects were directed at the humans. In these scenes, the star or the villain or some other cast member would do extraordinary physical performances such as jumping into the air and holding the position for a few seconds. There were also scenes where the characters made super-fast hand and arm gestures while fighting one another.
A Matrix table tennis game or clip uses these same types of special effects but instead of doing them in a fight scene the action takes place during a table tennis match. Some of these clips are of singles while others are of doubles. One thing they both have in common is they are incredibly interesting to watch.
As you can guess, these are staged performances. The actors do not really do the fantastic feats that are shown. Two of the most popular methods for achieving these results are through computer generated methods and through the use of black cloth.
Those Matrix table tennis clips that are computer generated are made by inputting images into a computer and then manipulating the images with special software. These types of Matrix table tennis clips can have just about any kind of background imaginable. They can also produce special effects that are unique to this type of editing. This might include the use of laser bats or impossible physical action sequences. Of course, these types of clips require a lot of skill with video editing and they also require the proper software.
The second method is to use additional cast members who are dressed in black from head to toe. The floor and the background behind the table is black as well which allows these helping members to blend in seamlessly. As the two players do their stuff, the black clad members can lift, twist, or otherwise maneuver the player on their side to make it look like extraordinary actions are taking place.
This the most affordable way to make your own Matrix table tennis clips if you want to do so. You should spend some time seeing what others have already done to get some ideas on how to make the best Matrix table tennis clip possible.
