Strobing, flicker and artifacts are all by-products of shooting at 24 FPS.

I just saw a movie projected on film recently, and there was judder.

Complete with strobing, flicker and motion artifacts . . . it's all yours.

only avs.

the hobbit isn't even out yet just some pre-production material and we have 10 pages of posts arguing whether 48 fps is the bane of cinema.

wait till christmas and then we can argue.

Im talking about higher framerates. 48 fps may be short lived since cameron wants to jump to 60.

You are talking about Television production. Apples and Bricks

TV shows apples to bricks really? how so?
I dont think shooting at higher frame rates will succeed but lets say it did then you can bet that TV shows would follow suit.

Well if peter jackson said he was shooting The Hobbit in black and white I dont think we'd have to wait till christmas to complain about it...

SMPTE has not defined the standard for HFR yet. And Cameron's AVATAR 2 & 3 are years away. Would not surprise me to see both 48 and 60 as a standard. LOL - could be as high as 72 FPS - who knows what will happen a year or two from now. Depends on the success at the BO for THE HOBBIT and if the public shows a preference for HFR 3D.

How would they accomodate the increase in required bandwidth? 3D-TV isn't the same as 3D in theaters. It has half the resolution per eye that theaters show.

2D isnt the same as in theaters either but we can still compare it.
Im not talking about the 3D effect anyways. Just the motion.

Went through that myself (NYU), but we never called it judder.

At this time there are no plans to use HFR for 2D. Only 3D

Just as Avatar was shown in 3D and 2D, we can have an opinion on 24fps using either version.

Not.

"The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey will be available in six different ways:
3-D, 2-D, and IMAX 3-D, each one in both the traditional 24-frames style and the new 48-frames version."

Not

There is no intention of showing The Hobbit in 2D at 48 FPS. Only the 3D versions get 48 FPS.

Can 15/70mm IMAX projectors handle 48fps?

They would have to be modified. IMAX experimented with 48 FPS back in 1992, called IMAX HD. It was a bust due to high print costs and wear and tear on the projectors and prints.

Not sure the current IMAX 15/70 installations could handle the size of the prints - twice as large/long as a regular IMAX print for a 2 hour movie.

Thanks Lee. Didn't think so. I've seen the platters and I don't think they could handle a 2.5-3 hour movie at 48fps.

I would be very happy if the 15/70 IMAX showings are 24fps. I'll be there, no doubt.

This would be perfect for me. Ill watch it first in a 3D 48fps digital theater, then compare it with the 3D 24fps Imax theater. Assuming the movie is good enough to watch twice...

I'll be doing the same. Plus a 2D showing as well.

Is 48fps the soap opera effect we get on our televisions?

That higher frame rate is something only seen with 'video' on TV, which soap operas were photographed with. So society has pretty much fixed that look with soap operas and now with the advent of higher frame rates, it looks 'wrong' to our eyes.

For me, I see ad advantage of 48 fps for when the camera pans or tilts, or during fast moving action sequences. Douglas Trumball is experimenting with a method to do just that, keeping the looks 24fps 9that preserves the fantasy of film) while giving filmmakers the ability to have the clarity and lack of stutter/jidder for certain movements.

Yes and no.

Soaps are 50i or 60i.

Soap effect is when you in an artficial way creates extra frames for 24P content. 24 to 48, 24 to 96 etc.

48 fps are real frames and not artificial, but are very close to the movement of 50i.

Not quite right. Soap Operas did not create extra frames. There was no way to do that before the advent of modern HDTV's. But movement at so many frames per second, plus the flat look of video cameras, made that higher frame rate look like crap. So 48fps has the same psychological effect.

More than that, those whpo are seeing it say the mind boggling clarity makes the film sets look just like that... sets. Costumes look like costumes and not the outfit worn by the character.

Yet 70mm films do not suffer from that because they were shot at 24fps. I've been fortunate enough to see numerous 70mm films on the big screen and they are remarkably realistic and never stage-play in appearance.

Matt,

MovieSwede referred not directly to Soap Operas, but to the "Soap effect" (aka Soap Opera Effect)- which as you know is the description many have given to the look of artificial frame creation/frame interpolation processing.

Also, it is fascinating how one can increase resolution in film (e.g. 70mm/Imax etc) and it becomes more real and immersive and believable...yet without the dreaded Soap Opera Effect.

But you have never seen a 3D film shot at 48 FPS and projected at either 48 or 96 FPS have you?

You are simply speculating like everyone else.

I have seen 70mm shot and projected at 60 FPS and it had no "soap opera" look to it.

Of course I have not seen it. What I have seen is 60fps shot footage shown at 60 and 120fps on home theater projectors and I really hated how it looked. I am not at all looking forward to 48fps from what I have read.

Home video is not the same as projected cinema, no matter how many people think it is.

And you really should read everything that was posted about "how it looked" and at what stage the footage was as far as production.

You haven't seen it. The footage had not gone through post-production . . . but it's going to suck.
