The \u2018trick\u2019 is the camera collects images at a rate of 210 per second \u2013 but the film is played back at 30 frames per second. So, every seven seconds of footage that you watch corresponds to 1 real second. At least at the start, one real second is plenty of time for someone to move into, then out of, the camera\u2019s field of view, but isn\u2019t enough time for them to really do much: hence, the frozen effect. It breaks down towards the end not because I\u2019m doing something clever with the frame rates (captured or replayed), but simply because the train was stopping! Thus, as it decelerated, any given person would be in view for longer, and have more time to point an arm, take a few steps along the platform, or maybe even notice me at the window. Any such action captured is still slowed down seven-fold during playback, just as with my usual static captures.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Neat effect.
