the camera is filming then it will appear to be stationary. So if you shoot at say 48 frames a second and the blades are spinning at 48 revolutions a second they would appear to be stationary. I think it also has to do with the number of blades but I'm not sure about that

Yeah, that's basically the same reasoning behind the birds wings/rotors I think unless I'm totally misunderstanding it -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly 🎅 Dec 22, 06:29 1
- You're correct. Though with the zoetrope it will just look blurry to the naked eye until it's shot at the right speed. - Krusty - Diamond Dog Dec 22, 06:35
