Image Factory: Time relative to oneself in a crowd

(bear with me on this one)

have you ever watched people walking down a busy metropolitan street and noticed that people all walk at different speeds indifferent to whomever's in there way. This made me think that time in a crowd is relative to every individual, these individuals get annoyed by people moving a different speeds (speeds that relative to themselves is too slow)

I'm not quite sure what i'm trying to achieve by that statement (rinne mé é ar meisce) but thinking on it reminded me of several scenes from the show House of Lies (the one with don cheadle) in which the main character steps out of digetic time to break the fourth wall and address the audience. When he does this the scene around him freezes and he begins to move about the foreground making with the funny. I thought this effect would be perfect to highlight how someone who likes to take their time might feel when trapped in a bustling crowded street.

however the effect i'm interested in is more similar to this:

these effects would be amazing if i was able to reproduce them , however I question if i have the time/skill to complete it effectively.
