Why does all movement in zero gravity appear to look unnatural and stiff even when not in a suit ?
In: 0
Because it *is* unnatural. Moving in zero gravity means you have to be deliberate and careful in how you move since you’re used to having resistance (ie your feet on the ground) rooting your body. Moving one body part moves others you aren’t used to because of that.
A lot of the “naturalness” of normal motion is due to the pendulum-like motion of our body parts in a gravity field. Experience has taught you to expect that. Absent that, the motion looks unnatural.
Also old NASA footage was shot at 12 to 16 frames per second. Many new shows take that footage and add extra frames and run it at 24 fps which makes it look weird. I’d rather have the old choppy video.
