But seriously, it was January and February where the money started to get ridiculous. I forget how many weeks in a row where the box office went UP week over week. Man. 1998 seems late but I still bought that movie on VHS. (Why not laser disc, I wonder?) I guess I didn't get a DVD player until 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,483 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 "In celebration of its 25th anniversary, a remastered version of James Cameron’s multi-Academy Award®-winning “Titanic” will be re-released to theaters in 3D 4K HDR and high-frame rate" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHY7D7K58BM Can anyone explain to me how you can show a movie in high-frame rate when that movie was shot on film at 24 frames per second? Like... isn't it by definition limited to the 24 actual physical film frames that were captured for every second? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 33,744 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 Yup! They fake new in-between frames with computers! It's similar to how they fake 3D for films shot in 2D bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,483 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I dunno, at least with 3d post-conversion it's just altering the images that already exist. Creating completely new frames in between the existing ones?? Sounds expensive and like it probably isn't very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 33,744 Posted January 10 Author Share Posted January 10 It's basically the same thing that stupid setting modern TVs have that everyone should turn off. But with James Cameron supervising this one, it probably won't look like a soap opera like most things do with that TV setting turned on It probably will still be a pointless exercise, though bruce marshall and Holko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVs have been doing that since the days of 100Hz CRTs, back when I really have no idea how the technology of the day could do that (and live, too). Today you probably just have to grab some random interpolation algorithm from some library. 15 minutes ago, Jay said: Yup! They fake new in-between frames with computers! It's similar to how they fake 3D for films shot in 2D But fake 3D usually looks ok to me. I expect there's some manual step (helped, no doubt, by tons of automated heuristics) to define the depth information for each image/scene. But frame interpolation has always looked horribly fake and distracting, and not just because of the human brain being used to films running at a lousy 24 fps (as opposed to TV, for example).

NL197 368 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Yeah it was done for the 100th anniversary of the actual event, and released April 2012 theatrically. It hit Blu-ray in September of 2012 with the open-matte 3D conversion spreading two discs, the remastered Cinemascope on a single disc, and a fourth disc of bonus features. To date the Blu-ray (both 3D and 2D transfers) are still razor-sharp and stunning (as in they still hold up in the decade since). It's the revisionist color changes that taint it.

Creating completely new frames in between the existing ones?? Sounds expensive and like it probably isn't very good. I do it all the time. There are AI upscalers that can take frames and guess what would be between to make it 60 fps or higher resolution. They do the same for resolution upscalers where it guesses between pixels. For this flyby of Jupiter, I upscaled it and made it 60fps. The clip I downloaded was jumpy (maybe 15 or 20 fps) so the AI guessed between the frames for smoother final result. My upscaler is just a low cost option, I'm sure Jim Cameron would be using Peter Jackson's multi-million dollar technology.
