my thoughts on the high frame rate debate



I mean there is no debate, we WILL be getting more if not all films made in high frame rates in the future, but people still have issues with it primarily because it's not looking like film and more like live video feeds or soap operas on tv which have been shot in very bland high fps for years.

But I'm thinking that there's potential artistically for high fps, there really is. We just haven't seen anyone come along and actually figure out how to use it properly. Right now what we're seeing is film makers having fun with a new toy and not really knowing what the fuck they're doing with it yet, sadly.

They're banging on a piano trying to make music and failing essentially...

But the question they have to ask themselves is why the hell do we need to see things on screen moving around in realistic physics. Maybe if it were like the matrix, like when they're in the real world it moves like 48fps and inside the matrix it goes back to normal film-quality. That would have made sense, yall.

As it is now. It's just an awkward big expensive experiment in film making to put up this artistically hollow imagery of things moving very quickly and without artistic purpose to anything...
