Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Apparently, Ang Lee's upcoming film Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk was shot in 3D at 120 frames a second and only one 300-seat theater in NYC is actually capable of projecting it in that format. Peter Jackson, eat your heart out! Ang Lee Is Embracing a Faster Film Format. Can Theaters Keep Up? Also, the movie looks like it could be interesting.

Jay 37,372 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 What's the point of filming at 120 frames per second when the human eye can't even differentiate that much detail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Wasn't The Hobbit 48fps or something like that? I doubt that was the main reason though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yes. Standard films are all 24 frames per second, and the Hobbit trilogy was filmed at 48 frames per second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Trumbull complained about that too. It wasn't fast enough. He said that from a certain rate ( I don't recall exactly but something like 90 or 120 fps) everything becomes 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,345 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Extremely positive reviews for Villeneuve's Arrival. The critics are floored. Is Blade Runner 2 safe? Quote Less Close Encounters of the Third Kind and more Linguistic Encounters of the Academic Kind, this is a sci-fi movie with intelligence, cerebral and emotional. Quote A fairly chilly, cerebral bit of business, from its beautifully tamped-down cinematography (by modern master Bradford Young) to Johann Johannsson's ethereal score. Quote It's ingenious, and brilliantly directed, shot and scored, all of which bodes well for Villeneuve's next project, a keenly-awaited sequel to 1982's Blade Runner. And so on, and so on ... https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/arrival_2016/ Is it safe? Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,551 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Yes, it's safe. It's safe, it's safe, it's so safe you wouldn't belive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Things do not look OK at all in low fps apparently. But no one notices because we are all so used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brónach 1,302 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Animation gets away with it better. Now that I think about it, animation in high fps must be nuts. Unless you have software to create automatically in between frames, which I think exists. Although I don't know if such a think exists for non-3D animation.

I'll reserve judgement on BR2 until October, next year, when I see it...or not (probably will...). I don't recall posting anything on the F1 driver, and part-time director, but as for mentioning Mr. Bay; you are on thin fucking ice, my pedigree chum, and I will be underneath it when it cracks.
