This effect is all about limiting the exposure of a frame to as little light as possible. Therefore, it requires MORE light because you are using a tiny burst of light. In film cameras, this is a shutter angle adjustment that exposes the frame for much less time than normal, in video, just an electronic shutter adjustment. The Canon XL series can go up to 15,000 shutter speed which can look really amazing for the right thing. FYI, a low shutter is just the opposite and will create a saturated blurry, trailing effect...
