Every pixel of every frame was really captured by the camera from the source, but it’s being played back to you very differently than how the source actually looked.

The most obvious example of this would be the wagon-wheel effect, where a spoked wheel can appear to rotate at a different speed and direction than its true rotation when captured by a camera under certain conditions.
