All depends on the artist (editor/producer/director/etc). Really,
there aren't any "standard" methodologies for doing things and most
artists keep their methodologies secret, partially because it makes
them valuable and partially because sharing tends to breed stagnation
of technique.

Sorry d00d, but yer wrong. Only amateurs use "specialized tools" and
canned effects, real artist tend to do things their own way using
their own methodology. For example the bullet time effect in the
Matrix. There is no "standard" way of doing that effect and there are
countless variations and methodologies for achieving it. For example
in Stargate SG-1, where they built round sets with a camera on a
swivel that could rotate around the action at high speed, giving a
bullet time like effect. Some newer methodologies actually film the
scene from multiple angles at once, which are then fed into a computer
and then reconstructed in a 3D rendering program to create 3D video,
kind of the ultimate bullet time effect...and no, there are no
"specialized tools" that can do that, you as the artist would have to
construct all your own templates for it and you probably wouldn't be
selling them...unless you wanted to be out of a job. After all, if
anyone can pull off your effect, what would they need you for?
