    I think you got it. The visual effect is created with a strobe, and the interplay between the strobe rate and the FPS produces the black lines - similar to what happens when you take a video of a television or monitor.

      A strobe light.. makes total sense now. Thanks

      Yep, monitors/tvs that have a low refresh rate will do that
