360° view effect (Not sure how to call it ahaha)

How can you achieve an effect similar to the one in this video :

It starts at 0:22[DOUBLEPOST=1351789560,1351789525][/DOUBLEPOST]How do you achieve it? Do you need multiple cameras or what?

It's call "Bullet time" its the same one used in The Matrix.

It's a hell of a job to do it well.

Here's a video:

I know how it works with multiple cams, not sure how you'd pull it off with just one.

Been thinking.... Depending on what the action the actor is doing, i could think of a way to do it with one cam, but it would consist of having the actor stay very still while to move toe camera for each shot of a frame.

yeah I watched the Youtube video
1 - It was friggin complicated ahahaha
2 - I don't think Jack from Jacksfilms had 150 cameras and million dollar equipment at least at that time (hid very beginnings)

He would have changed the position each time and jumped.

And do like a sort of stop motion effect?

To tell you the truth I think he just jumped in the air and used stop motion, prob jumped like 30 times lol... no thats not it, it's to smooth but they are lots of frames missing, they are still images
