Vsevolod Pudovkin, for instance, used slow motion in a suicide scene in his 1933 film The Deserter, in which a man jumping into a river seems sucked down by the slowly splashing waves. Slow motion can also be used for artistic effect, to create a romantic or suspenseful aura or to stress a moment in time.

Motion can be slowed further by combining techniques, such as for example by interpolating between overcranked frames.

A third technique uses computer software post-processing to fabricate digitally interpolated frames between the frames that were shot. This technique is more often applied to video subjected to instant replay than to film. Slow motion can also be achieved by playing normally recorded footage at a slower speed. A term for creating slow motion film is overcranking which refers to hand cranking an early camera at a faster rate than normal (i.e. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving more slowly. Typically this style is achieved when each film frame is captured at a rate much faster than it will be played back. This can be accomplished through the use of high-speed cameras and then playing the footage produced by such cameras at a normal rate like 30 fps, or in post production through the use of software. It was invented by the Austrian priest August Musger in the early 20th century.

Slow motion (commonly abbreviated as slo-mo or slow-mo) is an effect in film-making whereby time appears to be slowed down. Slow motion video of a glass cup smashing on a concrete floor
