Two problems:

- It'll bleed on fast motion. Hair in the wind would just not work.

- Incandescent lights are out.

You could solve both by having two ghost frames shot very close to the real frame (no need to evenly space the frames, after-all) and using strobing a high powered laser.

You'd need very fast sensor or another one optically on the same position.

At some point higher fps solves it. Is 240 fps enough?
I dunno, I'm just an amateur photographer.

The calculation isn't too hard though. The width of a pixel divided by the velocity of the subject on the sensor is the maximum delta(T) between real and ghost frames.

But, again, you dont have to shoot faster. You just have to drop the 180-180 degree phase between a real and ghost frame to be 10-350 degrees. Then your 24 fps is capturing the background as if it were 870 fps
