I first saw the rolling shutter effect from this blog post: https://boingboing.net/2010/08/20/explain-this-photo.html that was featured in a VSauce video back in 2014 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ0hS7l9ckY). It shows a picture of a child that also has the child's reflection. The child is blinking in the non-reflected image, but has his eyes open in the reflection! The conclusion is that the rolling shutter must be proceeding side-to-side and during the delay of the rolling shutter, the blink occurred! Pretty spooky if you don't know how cameras work.

It's really cool seeing a real-world example of the rolling shutter effect, I wonder how much the higher fps camera contributes to this, and if there are more subtle examples of this in their channel considering they do stuff like this fairly often.
