No, I meant that the flash would just illuminate a strip of the scene, in
time with the shutter, concentrating it's light just in that strip, like a TV
screen. It would take some fancy synchronisation, as well as some kind of
optical guide to concentrate the flash's light in a strip or scanning point
that moves in step with the shutter curtain, with the strip width varying
with the shutter speed. I hear that gravity can bend light.
