In general, films are shot with a slow shutter speed because the low FPS would otherwise create a strobe-like effect. Unless that effect is being sought (famously, Saving Private Ryan), blur is preferred.


Isn’t a strobe light effect due to how long you project each image, not how long you expose it for?


Maybe strobe isn't the best word for me to use. Choppy? Whatever you want to call it, the result is kind of nauseating.
