Other than having 50 angles, what is the purpose of the half ring of 50 cameras?

So they can get that "Matrix effect," if that makes sense.

http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/3811/32789563.jpg

That's a set up for "bullet time" effect, where a series of shots from different angles are pieced together to make a 360 degree perspective while the motion slows--it was first (i think) developed for the Matrix movies...my guess is they're probably doing some shooting for footages to be used later in the season...

Jefferson pronounced good to go
By Jeff McDonald on Sep 28, 09 04:17 PM | Permalink | Comments (0) Save & Share Yahoo! BuzzYahoo! Newsvine del.icio.us Facebook Google Reddit Fark
Richard Jefferson, who had been nursing a dislocated thumb on his shooting hand, has been cleared to participate fully when the Spurs begin training camp practices tomorrow.

"The thumb is fine," Jefferson said this afternoon at the team's annual media day. "It's totally a non-issue. I was surprised it got so much attention. It was nothing more than I jammed it."


Audio: Richard Jefferson at media day

Jefferson, acquired in an offseason trade with Milwaukee, suffered the injury in a pickup game at the Spurs practice site a week and a half ago.

Prior to media day festivities, Jefferson shot around without a brace, and without any ill effects. He says he has been "cleared to go 100 percent."

"If I was planning on milking it, the first two days would be the time to do that," Jefferson joked. "But I'm not going to milk it. I want to get out there and play with play with my teammates."

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he didn't expect Jefferson to be limited in practices.

"He's ready to go," Popovich said. "Hopefully, he'll just keep his hands to himself for a while."

Manu feelin' fine and other postcards from media day (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/2009/09/manu-feelin-fin.html)
By Jeff McDonald

Not long into his stint at Spurs media day this afternoon, coach Gregg Popovich uttered the words fans have been waiting to hear for most of the summer.

Manu Ginobili, at long last, has a clean bill of health.

"He's healed," Popovich said. "The spot where he had the stress fracture is 100 percent healed. That's the most important thing."

Audio: Manu Ginobili talks at media day

Ginobili, hobbled intermittenly with ankle issues since the 2008 playoffs, missed the final four games of last year's regular season and all of the postseason with a stress fracture in his right distal fibula. He spent much of the offseason in Argentia, nursing the injury by mostly doing nothing.

It was only within the past few weeks that he returned to basketball activities, playing one-on-one, two-on-two and some limited five-on-five at the Spurs practice facility. He has been cleared to participate fully in training camp, which opens Tuesday.

"I feel good, no pain or anything," Ginobili said. "I'm just rusty, of course, and a little out of shape. I think I'm going to be able to start the season full steam."

Other notes, quotes and anecdotes from today's media day:

* Tim Duncan says the sore knees that bothered him for the last half of last season are feeling better after he lightened his offseason training regimen. Duncan eschewed the tossing of truck tires -- "like the strongest man in Denmark," Popovich cracked -- and running on the hill behind the practice facility in favor of more swimming and light weights.

Popovich will probably limited Duncan a bit during training camp and the preseason, in order to keep him fresher for the regular season.

"I'll use a lot of the preseason to really get in game shape," Duncan said. "Hopefully, I can survive through more of the season and my body can hold up a little better than last season."

* Newcomer Richard Jefferson flashed his renowned sense of humor. Asked if he thought he was brought in to help take scoring pressure off of Duncan, Jefferson deadpanned: "I've told him that multiple times, that's why they brought me in here -- because of his deteriorating body. I tell him he should be thanking me more than I'm thanking him."

* Antonio McDyess, another newcomer, will wear No. 34 instead of the No. 24 he donned for most of his 13-year career. That's because Jefferson will sport No. 24. "He beat me here," McDyess said.

* Center Matt Bonner had perhaps the most eventful summer of any Spur. His wife, Nadia, gave birth to the couple's first child on June 19 -- Father's Day, no less. Evangeline Vesper Bonner takes her middle name from a James Bond love interest. Bonner's proudest moment so far? "She started sleeping through the night at six weeks," he said.

[TIMMYD!]

Damn, Tim looks badass in pic 34.

[benefactor]

Solid D...I know. I think Matt Bonner was purposely getting in the way when someone was taking a picture.

[Phenomanul]

Did Manu patch up? The spot...????

Yes! That's the one I noticed. He looks good, but he didn't lose his mound of rebound. :D

Great interviews & photos...Tim looks like he's ready for #5 and McDyess and Blair look like they're ready to get some rebounds and hoist a trophy up high.
