Right now, George Lucas is wondering why he didn't think of this idea. Just think Jar Jar could have annoyed the ____ out of us at 48 FPS

Believe me, if he sees this and it turns out great, he'll have to re-release it once again.

It seems one of the main problems is the lack of motion blur because of the high framerate. The image is too smooth and clear while in motion which actually makes the image look more artificial than real.

Stretch out your arm in front of you and wave your hand back and forth. What do you see? Motion blur.

That would be my only concern, Blu Ray's look crisp and amazing at 120hz; but they loose the quality of looking like a film. When I bought my last TV I was really bummed out as the default setting was 120hz and the movie looked like a Soap Opera. Then I figured out how to turn of the setting and was back in business.

But, my guess is this will be different as it was filmed in 48fps, versus being "smoothed" into it.

Trails from LSD usage in the past can't help ya. (or is that the same thing?)

If you can't see your hand blur while in motion maybe you are the one who is on drugs.

Nothing is going to assuage anybody's reservations about this until we actually see it.

Only 30fps for YouTube so this vid was pretty pointless

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

I am not worried.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Lets be frank: how many theaters can we expect to actually have this shown in 48 fps? I suspect (or fear) it won't be many and the majority will only experience this in the current standard.

For those bellyachn' about the difference, you will have a choice (if lucky), or standard option if not

Let that be the end of it!

I just watched that and I think what they are doing there is pretty cool.

However, motion blur and "jutter" are two different things. The have found a way to reduce motion blur while still maintaining true 24 FPS jutter.

As they say repeatedly in the video, they are "preserving the world standard 24fps film texture." Their final product still moves like film. But those 24 frames that they end up with will have less motion blur on them due to starting with a higher frame rate. In other words, they are starting at a high frame rate of 120fps, which produces very little motion blur, then they cut out most of the frames leaving the usual 24 per second.

The article puts it this way:

Trumbull showed not only the possibilities of an increased frame rate, but also how to integrate it into the industry standard of 24 frames per second.

If that's what is being done with The Hobbit then I will be very, very happy. But as of now I get the impression that the final product will be shown at 48 fps with no intention of "preserving the world standard 24fps film texture."

Has PJ released a new production Vlog, since the holiday one?

There was one right after the holiday but not since I don't believe.

Just realised that even if some theaters do show it with true 48fps, the ones that show it in 24fps will benefit from the 'less motion blur' that the article/video speaks off. That's actually pretty damn cool, and a definite advance in film making.
