To add to the other comments if you have the idea to use multiple camera to make the same effect but at a higher quality (and if you somehow sort how the synchronisation problem), then congrats ! You have invented bullet time, as demonstrated 27 years ago* in the Matrix.

Well, pedantically, demonstrated 148 years ago by Muybridge[0]

My pedant self stands corrected. I wonder if some crazy people made a reverse praxinoscope now.
>if you somehow sort how the synchronisation problem
These days you can just capture video and make a 4d Gaussian splat
My constraint was a tongue-and-cheek "use as little technology as possible" (like what was available in 1999). I think nowaydays it's still more economical to do one pass of photogrammetry on your talent then do a mocap and actor replacement ?
> ouch, I feel old
Inside of every old man, is a young man, going ”What the hell just happened?”.
