Replace the word frame with photograph.

Imagine you take 10 photographs of something in the space of one second and you put all those photographs together and make a video. You can play all 10 photographs one after another over the course of 1 second, or you could play them over the course of 10 seconds. If you did the latter, you’d have created a ‘slower motion’ version of the first video. Unfortunately though because you only took 10 photos over one second, over the course of a 10 second video there isn’t much fluidity between the photographs: a moving person in your video will appear to ‘jump’ between photos, or frames.

Now imagine you did the same thing, but you took 10,000 photographs in the space of 1 second and you make a video. Now when you show your 10,000 photographs over the space of 10 seconds in your video, your eyes are seeing 1000 photographs all one after another per second. The movement of anything in motion now seems fluid. You can of course play those 10,000 photos over the course of 10,000 years and it would then seem like a static image, save for the once a year the photograph changed.
