Tom,
I do not know if this could help, but I will tell you how a movie camera works:
You can capture a film at certain speed, but at the same time you can control the shutter speed almost independently.
Let's suppose we are taking a movie at 25fps, it means that in 1/25 second it will print a single frame. Some of this time is needed to move the film from one frame to the next, which could be about 1/1000 second depending on the movie camera. This will let us about 1/30 second to expose film. This 1/30 second is the slower possible shutter speed for 25 fps, but you can use any shutter speed from 1/2000 to 1/30 second.
If you choose the first it will be very difficult to have a motion blured effect, but deppending on the speed of the objects in the scene, it will be easier to get it using 1/30 second as shutter speed.
In case your movie speed is 12fps it will be possible tu use slower shutter speeds which will make more possible a motion blured effect.
