Yes, that's true, in some scenes (also when Neo and Mr. Smith are fighting in the subway station and shoot each other while jumping). It's because they have to jump high. But although using wires, the photo camera thing was necessary, because you can't hang splashing water onto wires when Morpheus jumps out of the agents Building :-)

Milos,

I might be wrong but I heard that Trinity was suspended by cables (ala Superman), filmed as normal (i.e rotating around Trinity) against greenscreen - and then in postproduction the cables were removed. Not sure though...

Can anyone tell me how did the creators of matrix made the camera rotate around Trinity while in the middle of the jump (at the beginning of the movie ). If you watched music video "Guilty conscious" by Eminem you could see the same effect. I think there is a video about this on Matrix DVD but there is no one in my town with DVD.

Thanks,

Milos
