Not to be pendantic, but you can't you achieve motion blur by blending frames? That is, shoot at 1/240 and either average or add 10 frames together in an overlapping sequence to get 240 FPS with motion blur that looks like 24 FPS?
I'm only half convinced about lighting. Certainly, if a great deal of light is already required, then running a faster shutter speed means you need more light. That's basic physics. But I've been doing still photography indoors, with horrible lighting, and often I don't need to shoot any slower than 1/90 or so (and often can't, depending on the lens I'm using, since I shoot handheld). Maybe I'm using a larger aperture? Not sure what gives because with modern digital camera bodies, sensors have gotten really, really good.
