where is this footage? -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 25, 08:34
And if audiences really don't like it, they can fix it by just playing it half as fast. -- nm - Reagen Apr 25, 08:24 2
- Supposedly the studio is saying that both 24 fps and 48 fps versions will be hitting theaters? - TFox Apr 25, 08:32 1
  - it would have to since only a few theatres will be prepared for 48. - zork Apr 25, 08:36
I've only seen positive. -- nm - Roger More Apr 25, 08:22
some was, some wasnt. a lot of what i read is that it looked too - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 25, 08:11 22
- the buzz that is bad, is *really* bad. If critics are bitching about the frame rates, the audience is going to loathe it. -- nm - Jovian Apr 25, 08:12 21
  - Oh, it's 30fps? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:15 5
    - 48 -- nm - tRuMaN, (not a knock off version) Apr 25, 08:15 4
      - I've always said that 30fps seemed to lack gravitas ... 48 must be like helium. But if any movie can bring gravitas in another way, it would be that -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:25 2
        
        isn't 30 fps television and 24 is film? or am I misremembering? -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:33
        
        8 fps is more than enough! -- nm - Hiroshi Sasagawa Apr 25, 08:27
      - there was a link yesterday about how this movie will change ... movies. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:16
  - I think critics are like baseball writers and hate change. They want their movies to look like movies. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:14 14
    - So does your average movie goer. I know I certainly do -- nm - Jovian Apr 25, 08:15 12
      - High frame rates make stuff look like it was shot on security cameras -- nm - con_carne Apr 25, 08:35 6
        
        But if you compensate for the effect with good lighting, familiar angles, and stellar cinematography - it might overcome that effect. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:37
        
        you can't recognise anyone in the picture? -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:37
        
        why is that? I thought high frame rates would look better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 08:37 3
        
        Uncanny smoothness - con_carne Apr 25, 08:43
        
        The best DVD example I've seen in favour of 30fps+ is the opening credits to Nic Cage's gone in 60 seconds -- nm - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:40
        
        too smooth, no flicker apparently. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:38
      - I disagree. The Average movie goer has no idea what you are talking about -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 08:26 3
        
        The average moviegoer has a brain that tells them "omg what are my eyes seeing?". Whether that is good or bad remains to be seen. - Beryllium Apr 25, 08:29 1
        
        I have a feeling it will dowl people over in an Avatar way. If not, they can drop half the frames and show it at 24fps. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:35
        
        "WTH? This looks like video, not film." -- nm - TWuG Apr 25, 08:28
      - for me, it would depend on the subject, genre, etc. I'm certainly not against 48 and if all going forward were that, I'm ok. -- nm - zork Apr 25, 08:18
    - agreed -- nm - Beaker Apr 25, 08:14
