Taking picture isn’t the issue. Taking video on the other hand, doesn’t come out so well … (video is on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_293jVW4iM)
Actually, I just thought of something else that I’m doing in my code, kind of a “well DUH” moment … I’ll make some changes and try again this evening. I’m getting way too much light reflecting from all the snow outside coming into the house.
So - it looks like 1 frame of video is about 1/12th (give or take) of what your photos are. How long are the photo exposures for?
Video recorders/frames, sadly, don’t have much in the way of persistence of vision - if your photos are .5s, and you’re shooting at 30fps, the image in a photo’s going to be spread out over 15 frames 
I feel like what you want is some kind of video processing plugin that allows you to merge say, a frame and the previous 5-15 frames, to re-create the illusion of POV.
Awesome, well done.
Now I have seen your video, I think I know what your problem is: Turn off the image stabiliser.
It looks like the system is trying to track the most obvious object (the lights) and keeps trying to re-centre it. That’s why it jumps around. You can just see whoever is twirling moving too and they should not be.
Very nice pictures! 
There is no stabilizer Adam. And when was the last time you tried to spin something without your body also moving? Unless you’re a rigid person, that’s impossible.
@Daniel_Garcia
Yeah, I discovered two things that might help. One was something stupid I was doing in my code, which has now been resolved, and the other is re-interpreting the video for a much slower frame rate, like down to 15fps. By doing that with the current video I discovered the other (in code) issue, and it looks better too. So yeah, more testing this evening.
Sorry, yes the body will move while you’re doing that. What I mean is the body would be pretty much in the same place.
I have re-watched a few more times and I had originally chosen a reference point that appears to move when the light source is in a different position. Giving me the illusion that the body was ‘moving’ in the opposite direction to the light. A similar effect to image stabilisation errors that I have seen in the past. If you watch the legs, they are pretty stable, along with items in the room.
I’m glad you have found some issues.
Yeah, the camera’s on a tripod, focused where I’m standing and other settings manually set. I shut everything off and control it all myself. But there’s other stuff going on with the code which I’ve now addressed. At least I hope. I’ll try again later this evening.
@Mike_Barela Nah, I just need to reinterpret the video and slow down the fps. I’ve been watching videos that others have taken and that’s what they’re doing. What my video shows is normal …
Consider using a polarizing filter to reduce the glare.
Ok, I just noticed something. AutoEnhance royally screws with the video. I now understand why to some it looks like the focus keeps moving around. Thanks G+! I’m going to put it on YouTube and relink it.
Better. Watch it from this YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_293jVW4iM
Still pictures are typically much better when compared with video taken on the same camera. On an 8mp camera pictures can get the full resolution of the camera. In video mode you are capturing from 2.2MP @ 1080p.
Does your camera have the ability to capture video in slow motion mode? Or can you change slowdown the motion in software (post processing)?
That’s where you take a still image. You can’t do it with video, unless the camera takes like 5 to 10 frames a second, which it can’t. Camera’s are 23.97fps and up. However, interpreting the video to a slower framerate can help, and that’s what I will test later this evening, after the kid goes to bed.
