-Notice that even in a blurry thing like person, it is possible to have multiple values of blur (or even no blur) because not all people or parts are moving at the same speed. How we handle that is going to be tricky...

 === Walls and Ground ===
 These are static in realtime, but change over time, so they should also have smooth and staccato changes over time, but no blur. Smooth animation is going to be in textures (dirt, aging) and Dirt accumulation in the corners and edges (maybe shapekeys of growing dirt) while staccato changes include things breaking or chipping (potholes in the ground, cracks or chips on the walls, falling tiles) and also being fixed (patches)

+=== People and Trains ===
 People and Trains are too fast to be 'smooth' in a timelapse, so they should really be single frames appearing and disspearing... we can make allowances and have them appear for more frames if needed.
 We'll do this with particle systems, where the particle life is limited to 1-3 frames, and the particles are either motion blurred geo planes/meshes that have preblurred images on them with transparency.
