That was a VERY jarring and striking scene because of that though. Yes, you CAN do it, but it will have a certain effect on the viewer, which may or may not be wanted (usually in cinema it is not, IMHO). Try to shoot a romantic wedding video like that... There's a reason why DoPs use ND filters at times to get down to a 180 degree shutter... because it tends to look better.

Btw., if you watch Star Trek: TNG on Blu Ray, watch for the flybys of the Enterprise. They did motion control photography, and sometimes there is no motion blur, the model was completely stationary when they took the single photos. As a result it's stuttering like mad, and looks quite bad and awkward (it's great for taking stills though).

Arguably the worlds most successful wedding film makers, Stillmotion, shot extremely hight shutter speeds for the years they used DSLRs. It suited their slick documentary style. Most wedding dslr film makers now still use shutter speed to control their exposure so motion blur isn't an issue for them when considering lifting stills. However, composition is and this was the main reason it didn't work too well for me, the few times I tried it. But that's because of the way I shoot video, tight and varied. I foresee a new style emerging from young guys how are starting out with 4k at their fingertips. Sooner or later someone will nail it and achieve a high standard of both stills and video with one camera. It will be very different to our taste now, but I predict that the artistry will surprise us all. I'm just too set in my ways to do it myself :-)

Sorry for my newby ignorance,is this a 1.5x ?
