The Campanile Movie and The Matrix When I saw Debevec's movie, I knew that was the path.

-- Visual Effects Supervisor John Gaeta, WIRED 11.05. Campanile project Master's student George Borshukov was hired by Manex Entertainment where he and his colleagues applied the Campanile Movie's virtual cinematography techniques to create some of the most memorable shots in the 1999 movie The Matrix. Watch the backgrounds in the "bullet time" shots in the film (see Quicktime movies of the principal bullet time shot and the trailer at The Matrix website) to see how image-based modeling and rendering were used in the film. Articles on this technique and others that gave the film its mind-blowing effects are in the April 1999 issue of American Cinematographer magazine, the October 1999 issue of Cinefex, and the August 1999 issue of SoftImage Magazine. The techniques continued their use in films such as Mission Impossible II and The Matrix Reloaded. The Matrix won the 1999 Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. The visual effects supervisor was Campanile Movie fan John Gaeta; the bullet time supervisor was Kim Libreri, and the director of research at Manex was Dan Piponi.
