Sometimes it's the simplest questions that lead to the most important
innovation - other times it's more that they're just plain fun to
answer. Take the one asked by Grand Rapids, MI-artist, Sam Blanchard:
what would the Brothers' bullet-time effect look like, were it shot on,
say 20 Polaroids, instead of a room full of expensive digital devices?
The answer, naturally, can be found in the
Polaroid Matrix, a circle of
cameras on display at Maker Faire in New York, this weekend. The
Kickstarter success story arranges the cameras into a circle - a subject can be sat in the middle, or the cameras can be oriented outward, to take a panorama of the surrounding
environment. Once the rig is fired up, the cameras make that familiar
Polaroid warm up hum - times 20. The actual photographing happens almost in an
instant, with 20 flashes. The photographer walks around the circle and
collects 20
photos, which are bound into a photographic flipbook.
