Hi..
i was wondering if there was any software for 7610 that could enable taking pictures and making videos like the matrix thingy... u no pause the video in the middle n then start again from another angle. im not looking for photographer(the app) do u guys think its possible? it would be great! or take a picture n then rotate all around it not the panorama view. also is there any software that could enable taking photos in monocolor.. i mean black & white. dat wud be great. any help appreciated

Im no expert on these matters, but I REALLY doubt ANY mobile phone out there is powerful enough to let you do the whole 'bullet time' thing ... It would involve linking together of an unbelievable number of camera angles, and then shifting between them rapidly enough to acheive the required 'smoothness' ... And EVEN if somebody did create a phone with a processor fast enough and with enough high-speed memory for it, exactly how would YOU, the 'cameraman' be able to get the requisite camera angles??? When the panning is done in the movies, they use a series of cameras all setup and synchronised to go off at set intervals, sequentially ... You, being able to do that with ONE 'camera' on your phone, I think we have a better chance of seeing Earth transform into Utopia ... 😊 Same thing applies to 'rotating' around an image...

As for the black and white thing, Im sure theres something available out there... Or if there isn't, Im sure somebody could create one... Or you could probably just upload the images to ur PC and use something like Photoshop to convert ... 😊

oh yeah, also I mention 'camera' in ' ' ... coz none of the 'cameras' you get on today's mobile phones, including Samsung's new 3MP ones, are really fit to be called 'cameras' ... They can be used atmost for internet 'photography', and the 3MP ones can be used for some decent amateur photography, but NOTHING serious ... More of a 'toy', IMO ...

i found a way to do it. i made my brother run ( i was recordin all this) and then jump on the sofa. when he jumped i paused( he was in the air in my cam) i asked him to try n stay exactly as if he was jumping.. he stood on one foot.. trying desperately not to move. i stood up, continued, paused. rotated, continued, paused and completed the 360 degrees until i was back where i started from n then continued and asked him to fall on the sofa.. VoIla! a masterpiece, i will be posting that as soon as i can!
how abt a little appreciation for my thinking please? any comments? 😊

😊 Patience and time will help you do wonders... Post the thing, so we can all appreciate the artist in you...

What u did actually was the entire concept of the camera effect used in matrix, nothings too great about that, since its not that hard to achieve. But at least you had the effort. 😃 Post it so we can see it. 🙄

the video has been on for a while now n still 0 views? :s i dun understand, i 'sent' the .3gp file to a compressed folder n posted it here, dat is how to do it rite? n its not dat big.. its i guess 93.6Kb! :s i dun understand

No offence,but that is the most hilarious thing i've seen in a while 😃 Anyway,you proved your point,your video might be funny but its a start 😉

y does it still show o views? what does the views mean if it doesnt mean how many times its been downloaded it? yeah thanx ghostdog, i dont mind.

thanx guyz! finally... a little appreciation! Ghostdog.. *ahem* nah... jus kiddin! thanx people! 😊

It would be great if you can edit a video recorded, and make a section of the video to play at 1/16 the speed or something ... to give that slow-motion effect. 😃
