I've thought about this as well. I always assumed the lack of clarity of single frames extracted from video material is because the eye/brain incorporates several images shown really quick in succession into one whole image. So when only a single frame is shown, there's not as much information in that as, say, 10 frames shown quickly in succession.
- photoGrant 12y agoThat's also because of the 'shutter speed' or 'shutter angle'. Basically each frame stays 'open' for a certain amount of time to let the light in. Anything slower than say 1/500s is going to introduce motion blur into the frame. Shutter Speed/Angle are also creative choices. Anything that is faster than 1/50th (180 degree shutter angle) will introduce a 'staccato' effect to the video. Anything slower will be mushy/blurry. Somewhat off topic, but interesting nontheless!
