>>3166737I also tend to believe you are inadvertently referring to the soap opera effect. Where something is captured at a higher frame rate than standard 24fps film. The name comes from the video taping of soap operas on cheaper video tape at either 60 fields per second for NTSC or 50 fields per second for PAL. These faster rates leads to shorter exposures and a loss of motion blur, which is normally seen in FILM @24fps. And this higher rate has a certain psychological effect, were the viewer just sees the actors as just actors and a loss of immersion into the fictional world.
To this day news broadcasts, sports, talk shows, and realty tv all tends to be captured at higher than 24fps (50i/50p or 60i/60p) and give off the soap opera effect. But it does not matter as they are not trying to pull off a fictional world. But with dramas, sitcoms, scifi, and many documentaries they all tend to stick with the 24fps into the digital realm today because of the feel it gives off even on a TV Broadcast. No matter if you are in a former NTSC or PAL country.
