Re:Slow Motion Became Cinema's Dominant Special Effect by yial on Monday July 21, 2025 @04:16PM (#44639948)
I think what you’re describing is different than the slow motion fall. (Though it may be the same, or similar type of processing….)

The fan, I believe is similar to a clock ticking and a type of saccadic masking. (1)

Related to the optokinetic response. (2)

I’m sure someone with much more knowledge than I could better clarify however.
