Slow-Motion Pass-By: Difference between revisions

A frequently-seen visual device, where two persons/vehicles pass by each other going in opposite directions; the exact moment they are next to each other is slowed down and often extended with [[Repeat Cut]]. Usually used either to show "two ships that pass in the night" relationships (or lack thereof), or to provide a dramatic "spike" during a chase or investigation sequence. In the latter case, one of the participants is usually the seeker, and the other the sought; such cases often result in [[Chase Scene|Chase Scenes]]s of one flavor or another.
