The Ring, The Grude character movment technique.
Does anyone know how to get the jerky stop and go motion of the characters like the girls in The Grudge, or The Ring?

from looking at it they used something equivalent to a speed ramp combined with some clever editing and flashes

Just taking a total guess at it, I think that they might have filmed it with a small shutter angle, and then just skipped some frames in post. I haven’t tried, but again, if I was given one shot at it, and had to guess how to pull it off using a video camera, I’d shoot at a fairly high shutter speed, ask the talent to do a slow walk, and then in post just try dropping frames at random, playing around with different ratios of dropped frames to kept frames, until (IF?) I got the desired effect.
On a side note, I know in “The Grudge” some of the scenes, the girl was just able to sort of bend and contort, it wasn’t even an effect.
