To create those amazing smoke - time stroke in The Matrix , the filmmakers used a crowd of camera to at the same time capture the natural process from all Angle . But Google EngineerBen Krasnowfound an loose and cheap way to do this by simplyspinning a gamy - amphetamine cameracapable of shooting at speeds of up to 21,500 anatomy per second .

The camera used to becharm these shots , theChronos , is useable through a Kickstarter campaign for $ 2,500 . It ’s not as cheap as a breaker point - and - shoot , but it ’s far more affordable than other high - closing , in high spirits - speed rigs which can be well over $ 100,000 . And definitely cheaper than purchase or renting 50 DSLRs to recreate those awesome shot from The Matrix .
