High-motion - Effects of New Technology

Effects of New Technology

As of the 2000s, digital video technology now makes it possible to shoot video at the “film look” rate of 24 frame/s at little or no additional cost. This has resulted in less high motion on television in recent years.

The future presence of digital projectors in theaters opens up the possibility that Hollywood movies could someday include high motion — perhaps in action films intercut with 24 frame/s for non-action scenes. The MaxiVision48 3-perf film format promotes this use with its ability to switch from 24 frame/s to 48 frame/s on the fly during projection. However, 3-perf has not seen much adaptation as a projection format.

Director Peter Jackson has announced that the three-part Hobbit film is being shot at 48 fps, using the Red Digital Cinema Epic camera system.

Famous quotes containing the words effects of, effects and/or technology:

    Trade and commerce, if they were not made of India-rubber, would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way; and, if one were to judge these men wholly by the effects of their actions and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be classed and punished with those mischievous persons who put obstructions on the railroads.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    to become a pimp
    Or deal in fake jewelry or ruin a fine tenor voice
    For effects that bring down the house could happen to all
    But the best and the worst of us . . .
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.
    Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
