All video is just a bunch of photos shown in rapid succession.

We as a culture have decided that right around 25 frames per second (24, 25, 30, etc.) looks enough like “real life” motion to trick our eye into thinking it’s not just a bunch of individual images, it’s actually something moving.

If you take video at a higher frame rate, like 60 fps, and play it back at 60 fps, it looks even smoother, almost fake looking or something that we’re not really used to. If you take that 60 fps footage and play it back at 30 fps, it will look twice as slow. You’re playing those 60 frames back that took 1 second to record over 2 seconds.

Now instead of just filming at 60 fps, you record at 100,000 fps and play it back at 30 fps it’s the same thing, just MUCH SLOWER since each second is 100,000 frames long.
