I just stumbled across this interview with James Cameron where he reveals that the sequels to Avatar will be filmed at a higher frame rate to remove motion artefact's. Apparently they're currently evaluating filming in 48, 60 and 72 fps.
What are your expectations? Soap opera or more realistic? Necessary for 3D but not 2D? Will a blueray be able to handle the extra data? Do we need new HDMI standards and 3D players yet again? Will our old HDMI cables be able to cope with the data stream? Or do we have to exchange all our video gear yet again? How long do you think it will be before it reaches consumer level? (Say sub $10K projectors.) Shoot!
I for one am stoked!
It's at the top of my list together with an increased native color gamut. 3D needs higher frame rates in my opinion - it's all about creating a window into another world - as realistic as possible. IMHO. And yes, I expect that we will have to change most of our gear again...
Does anyone know the frame rate limit for 1080p for current equipment, can it cope with 60 fps? In 3D? I'm fairly sure 72 is out. When? 3 years?
