[russell shaver] ""double shutter"? Really? Got a reference for this "technique"?"
First off it is not a "technique" as in trick.
This is the way the film projectors have worked since Edison, and it has been mimiced in the digital world and a simple search of Cinema Projection or PsF would bring up the info, since you seem to not believe.
