Here is a matrix bullet time test. No CGI was used.

Edit: I dont want to misslead anybody. The bullet was not CGI or the man but I did slightly help the effect by panning in just a little bit on the bullet, and out a bit on the man to help the effect. If that is GGI then sorry, but I didnt use blender or anything fancy. Just Sony vegas 8.0 pro, and stop motion of course.

Looks like greenscreening to me. I think the support was green and he keyed it out. And he nailed it, too.
It's funny, just look at your name

My name may be Greenscreener, but that sure doesn't mean that I'm good at it.
(I stink) 
Yes it was green screened. I simply rotated the bullet and the man at an equal pace and keyed them together.
That's pretty cool. I am also looking forward to a new film by you.
wow.thats almost like the scene I filmed a couple days ago. nice work
I've been thinking of doing a test like this. Did you just move the bullet at an angle while spinning it, or put it in a fixed position and move the camera around it?
whoa.

I simply placed the bullet on a spinning brick and animated it rotating 180 degrees. I then animated the man on a spinning brick at roughly the same pace of rotation. I then animated them on motion paths in sony vegas and keyed out the green screen. I also scaled the bullet way down. It was kind of complicated and im sure their are easier ways of doing this but since I dont really understand CGI lego models in blender this works fine for me.
I liked it. 
It seemed to work very well. I thought the greenscreening was a bit obvious with the white expanse, but overall it was a very nice test.
