eli5 how high frame rates make special effects worse?

326 views

One of the complaints of movies like that was that you could see how fake the effects were, how other worldly creatures were just guys in make up. My one theory is they had to use more light or male the camera more light sensitive, allowing it to catch more detail.

If things are moving across the screen, a higher frame rate means less motion blur, and thus a clearer image, which could reveal details you’d otherwise miss.

But for anything that stays still for a moment, there’s not going to be a real difference.
