Bullet Time Sports

Sport gives you one attempt. Our rigs freeze peak action from every angle at once, and the Argus rig records continuous synchronised video, so the exact moment is chosen in the edit rather than gambled on set.

Peak action

The exact frame of contact

Ronaldo gave us two overhead kicks and both were perfect, with instant previews confirming the shot before he left the field. Rafael Nadal served at around 130mph through an 80 camera rig in Bilbao. The frame you want is the frame you get, from every angle.

No second takes

Sport does not repeat itself

A winning moment cannot be restaged. The Argus rig records continuous synchronised video across all cameras, so the freeze is chosen in post at exactly the right frame. That is how we covered TNT Sports’ Premier League media days, two crews shooting a season of promos.

Campaign scale

Built for broadcast campaigns

SkyBet’s Euros advert ran 120 cameras across three locations in four days. Pepsi’s UEFA campaign ran two rigs at once under Wembley’s arch. McLaren launched the Senna 30 livery inside a 74 camera ring at their HQ. The rigs travel, and a two person crew runs them.

Light painting

Light painting the game

For Vodafone we froze Emma Raducanu inside four second light trails, an illuminated racket drawing the paths and a rear curtain flash locking her in place. True in camera long exposure is the DSLR rig’s territory: see our bullet time light painting page.
