Claim Text:
1. A method for variably and selectably imparting a perception of motion blur to images or sequences in a high frame rate (HFR) motion picture, said blur introduced either at a time said motion picture images are photographed or during post production, said method comprising the steps of: (a) photographing frames and images defining said motion picture on film or by digital means at a frame rate of at least 48 frames per second; (b) processing from the said images; (c) imparting to frames of said motion picture images a perception of motion blur, a degree thereof provided by selection of a specific shutter angle or shutter speed for media selected from the group consisting essentially of each frame, each series of frames, each shot, each scene, or each sequence of frames, including frames of said motion picture in which the degree of imparted illusion of motion blur constitutes a variable within the creative discretion of the producer of the motion picture; and (d) displaying said images to a motion picture audience at the same frame rate at which they were taken in said Step (a) above, whereby the amount of motion blur imparted is sufficient to mitigate unnecessarily detailed temporal resolution effects otherwise delivered to viewers of the motion pictures.
