Frame Rate Arbitrage for Slow Motion

technique for simulating slow-motion by shooting at a frame rate slightly higher than the project's delivery rate (e.g., 30fps) and then conforming it to a standard timeline (e.g., 24fps). This method provides a subtle, clean slow-down while offering greater post-production control over object motion than true high-frame-rate (HFR) shooting. It leverages the mathematical difference between capture and playback rates to create the effect, which is then often augmented with further animation.
