How would you feel if, during high-tension moments in your favorite movies, the cameras cut to slow motion and the lead actors turned to stare right at you?

Now you might find out, thanks to a new campaign from Fox Entertainment's movie channel, FXM. Production company Imaginary Forces took key frames from films that are slated to air on the network, and then used 3-D animation techniques to manipulate the characters' faces so they'd be looking at the camera.

The 10 spots, which are 20 seconds each, are loosely tied together under FX's "Fearless" positioning, which the behind-the-scenes video says allowed Imaginary Forces to "get strange" in its approach to teasing the network's programming.
