"Matrix" Tributes in advertising

[Bensm]

Can anyone think of any adverts OTHER THAN the smirnoff one that pay tribute to the bullet time sequence in "The Matrix" where the camera goes 360 degrees around a stationary object.

I think Centreparcs used that technique once, panning round a goose?

[ludwig]

There was one for Centreparcs with people cycling through the woods, ducks landing on a lake etc. In each scene the 'freeze and pan round' technique was used. It's not been on for a while.

[Brugel]

As far as I know, this technique was first used in the 1950 Japanese film "Rashomon" in which a woman is attacked and raped in the woods. The camera circles 360 degrees to indicate that she's had an orgasm.

Capital Radio, used it a few years ago.

And in fact, it was well before The Matrix. Very effective.

There is a dairy milk advert, milk streams going into a glass, but the first I remember seeing was a p**s poor ad for Harvester restaurants where a guy tosses a wok and I swear to God the camera pans around the ingredients when they are in the air! Why oh why oh why!
