Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Moonliner]

I like the idea, but it looks to be getting some push back.

Producer Peter Jackson decided to shoot The Hobbit at 48 frames-per-second, as opposed to 24 fps which has been industry standard pretty much since the dawn of time. E! Online quoted Jackson as saying that the higher frame rate makes the 3D picture "much more gentle on the eyes, without the strobing or as much flicker, and much less eye strain."

The Hobbit, is causing a stir among those CinemaCon goers who have been treated to a 10 minute preview screening of the film. And it's not joyful stir. Viewers complained that the movie looked too real, that it had that look of low-budget television.

I'll bet the next generation of kids look at 24 fps films like people today look at B&W films.
