Also, consider motion blur.  Without being too technically accurate about
how cameras work, lets simplify and state that a camera is actually
recording all the information available.  Whilst it does chop up the 'real
stream' into (eg.) 24 fps, during each interval it is capturing the
remaining information by allowing light into its sensor (film etc) for the
full timeslice, resulting in motion blur.

ie. motion blur actually represents all the 'missing' information in slow
fps media.  That's why without it, computer graphics need a much higher fps
to get a similar feeling of smoothness.
