I just watched the greatest showman and in the movie "this is me" they had a jump where the dancers jumped in the air and went in slow motion while one singer in front was in normal speed!  also while all of this was happening the camera was moving through the people that were slowly moving through the air.   then the people that where in slow motion dropped to the ground at the same time and kept singing and dancing in the clip.  I want to know how to do this very badly or if i need to do it in after effects please help!

    Scene in question: THE GREATEST SHOWMAN Movie Clip - This Is Me (2017) Zendaya, Hugh Jackman Musical Movie HD - YouTube

    This was a nice effect, and looks like a composite of "bullet time" + normal speed footage (both shot with the same camera movements). When the camera swings back around (at the 00:28 mark); the 'normal speed' actress seemed green screened and lit differently to the rest of the slow-mo dancers in the background?

    I haven't seen the clip.  Almost sounds like a "bullet time" effect.  (Look that up.)
