Think of the film 28 days Later or if you are UK based and a petrolhead the BBC programme Top Gear. They use it extensively when reviewing cars and want to get across speed,

I think the problem lies in the fact that the original footage shot at a ‘normal’ shutter speed will already have some blur on them which cannot be removed

whilst looking for an example online to show you I came across another thread Creative Cow thread which concluded that it probably cannot be done very well in post.

A high shutter speed 1/200th sec upwards gives footage a very particular look. Ideally suited to filming moving cars / high speed stuff where you want to get across ‘speed’ in a stylistic way.

It is a different effect to shooting at a low frame rate,

Ok,

Thanks for the answers

Best,

If I do that won’t I essentially be converting my footage to DV? Not ideal as it’s a nasty codec. Plus everything will have to be rendered as I edit.

If it’s as simple as that what’s the point in ProRes?

Not sure I fully understand.
