This explanation sounds VERY hokey, since the fim in ANY movie camera is stationary while it is being exposed - otherwise, stationary objects would leave very objectionable streaks. However, if the special effects camera and the models were in motion during the exposure of each frame (as they would be in real-world scenes), you would get more or less normal motion blur, reducing the strobe effects. Maybe that is what they meant?
