According to Freddiew:
Here's how we did this one:

Left and Right sections:

Run through the action and throw the ball to a Precision Ball Catching Specialist, or have a Precision Ball Throwing Specialist throw the ball to me from a previous position. The goal here is to match the ball movement as closely as possible. In some cases (rolling on the ground), the match is pretty much exact so we just cut. In others (kicking at my face) I had to delete the ball and animate a new one in there to blend the two takes together.

The Center section:

I would "freeze" in certain points because we were determining the timing later. I also had a designated start/stop position, which we would morph in between slowly in order to loop the takes together.

Stitching:

We shot the whole thing in 3 vertical camera slices to minimize lens distortion, and once each section was looping smoothly we simply stitched it all together (you'll notice that nothing crosses the "seams")

This clip would be a perfect candidate to replay 3 times at different speeds.
That or freddiew should edit this to add way more bullet hits, somehow i feel it needs it.
