Damn that is on point.

After hearing your argument about being conditioned to 24 fps, I've noticed that I do not feel the same way and I realized why. During my teen years my dominant medias were not movies, but video games and anime, which reside on opposite sides of FPS spectrum. Games want to be 60+ and nowadays even 120+, but your output depends on your hardware, no guarantees of constant framerate here. At the same time anime varies from scene to scene in approximately 3 to 20 fps range. This is constraint of hand-drawing images instead of just shooting with a camera, and at the same time it's an actual tool at director's disposal to distinguish between static dialog and super climactic action scene. So I pretty much grew in variable framerate environment, haven't developed any attachment to cinematic 24 fps and actually fine with whatever is thrown at me by the authors.

You made a good point - "departing from that feels like a new language", and this is pretty much sums up all things "wrong" with 60/120fps, people who tried to shoot in those framerates treated like it was 24fps, without taking into consideration that you'll need, basically, to invent a new type of cinema language - camera movements, editing, acting plastic etc etc. Higher framerates (probably) can work in cinema, but it shouldn't be treated like it's usual 24fps (maybe combining two types of framerates for different sequences of the movie, like another planet environment, thus creating an eerie feeling of something drastically different, unnatural even).

We've had this discussion about "Into the Spiderverse," and the creative decision to not only limit the frame-rate of a computer-animated movie that can run at any frame rate the creators want... down to 24 fps, but to also put some character animations on twos, at 12 fps, to highlight or exaggerate certain motions.Exaggerated even more because they've consciously avoided using motion blur. Instead reverting to higher frame rates for key actions that might induce motion blur. Gives a very exaggerated comic book feel, and every single frame feels like a key frame, as they've done it this way.

@mattecrystal6403

Literally the worst decision ever. Didn't know this was what they did until a friend told me after but I could tell the animation at times was really choppy and had low fps. It really ruined the experience for me. The whole it imitates a comic book and or it was to show character growth since he get 60fps near the end of the film is dumb af. First off you're story and character development should show character growth not your fucking fps. Second, and more important is that in high-quality 2d animation they get away with lower fps like that because they have the ability to completely morph the character into abstract shapes during quick motions that make it look really smooth in real time. But If you freeze frame at various areas you'll see a fast moving hand or body might actually be a smear across the screen. Into the spider verse doesn't have this ability due to it's 3d nature so it just looks jaring and like a low budget anime or cartoon not to mention the mixture of fps show can literally hurt your eyes. It is the only film to date that I've had that experience. Furthermore when it comes to really high quality 2d scenes they are sometime done in full 24fps and they look fucking gorgeous. There is literally no good reason for it beyond the creators wanting to feel like they did something new and passing off objectively bad practice as a bonus reason to enjoy the film. Overall great film otherwise but i would pay good money for a fully 30-60fps version.

​@@paition No they did increase fps over time to simulate miles changing from clumsy and inexperienced to professional and experienced. They also made other characters like normal spider man at 30 or 60fps. I think I did a decent explanation in my last comment regarding why mimicking 2d animation was not a good excuse but I'll try to state it again in more detail as well as touch on some other aspects I left out. 1. First off you could say it's mimicking 2d animation but if you do then it's mimicking low quality 2d animation. This is largely due to a lack of actual animation techniques used in 2d animation to make a lower fps like 12fps seems smooth. For example, in lots of 2d animation will completely morph and stretch fast moving body parts to simulate speed. This creates the Illusion of smooth yet fast moving animation. Into the spiderverese completely lacks this. 2. 2d animation is also able to pass off choppier animation in general because it has far far less detail then real life or 3d animation and is also far more abstract in it's presentation of characters and objects. This causes our brains to fill in a lot of extra information which helps make animation at lower fps look a lot more natural. Into the spiderverse being a detailed 3d film doesn't have this luxury. 3. Finally, while it's true much 2d animation often uses 12fps this is purely a limitation of the medium due to the extreme amount of work required to produce 24fps content. Despite this it's not uncommon to see big budget scenes in 2d animation actually draw all 24 frames. These scenes tend to be highly fluid and detailed and are easily the most hype moments. If a 2d movie or show could be made at full 24fps in it's entirely it would do nothing but benefit the end product drastically. There are a few 2d shows and movies that maintain a higher overall average fps and they benefit greatly from it. (these shows also tend to make really great use of the morph/smearing effect I mentioned earlier) When it comes to 3d like into the spiderverse there is no such limitation preventing 24fps or more hence there is no good reasosn to render at 12 fps. TLDR: Into the spiderverse doesn't take into account any of techniques used in 2d animation to pull off looking good at lower fps. Nor does it consider the inherit properties of 2d animation which naturally make lower fps scenes look more fluid. And in the same vein how the inherit detail of 3d animation causes lower fps to look worse. All of this stems from the idea that making inexperienced chracter's render at a lower fps would be a good idea. Well it's just not. Let you're actual story and character actions portray that not your fps. It's not like lowering the fps actually changes the base moment of the character. It's the same except you feel like your looking at a slide show. Can u imagine if real life worked that way. You suck at skateboarding so you're life literally displays at 2fps meanwhile tony hawk displays at 60fps because he's a pro? The entire concept is just dumb. It's a neat little idea, but never should of actually been put into practice and the end result is undesirable.

Every technological advance does, actually. The more movies are shot with high frame rate the less the mentioned effect of cinematic picture will work.

Honestly, this is a great video and a perfect explanation on the differences between 24fps vs higher frame rates when it comes to movies. I've always said that 24 fps is cinematic: higher frame rates are fine but--hot take--they're not cinematic. It's always amused me to watch all these channels on here giving tips on "shooting cinematic video!" that are shot at 60fps or 24fps but at crazy high shutter speeds (that just end up making it look like video). As you articulate here, we've built an entire cinematic language on 24fps and higher frame rates just rob cinema of its magic. You can see the make up on the actors faces; you can clearly spot the stunt doubles; the costuming, art direction and VFX look shitty and, ironically, more artificial. And I don't understand people's antipathy toward motion blur. To me, it's another texture like film grain or lens flares. I don't look at a painting and go, "well, this would be better if I couldn't see the strokes of the paint brush"--no, that's *part* of the painting. I'm kind of against this push toward making everything "technically perfect." Like, yeah, super sharp lenses are cool but they're also clinical and soulless.

I think our eye-brain system is trained to get "sharpness" from stopped motion between waving arms etc. but 180° shutter angle helps to make motion really flow so motions are absolutely realistic in video.

I feel that this is all due to what we are used to. To me there is no "cinematic" way if doing things. We only used 24 fps because of not only technological limitations but monetary ones to, back then. I think we should allow ourselves to experience different forms of viewing cinematic art. To me 24 fps can be a very boring experience. I like variety. Someone mentioned anime in the comments, ands that is very true. It is so varied that it keeps me engaged personally. However, I do understand your view, and I respect it. 😁

Frame rates also impacts exposure if you maintain the same shutter angle. Shooting at 120 fps will require 5 times the light as shooting at 24 fps. Back when the standard was developed, I’m quite certain film wasn’t nearly as fast as the digital sensors we have today.

I really do enjoy those KZread videos where people walk around cities for hours and shoot in 60fps. It really gives it a hyper-realistic look.

Dude I hope this is a "shot heard around the world" so-to-speak. The advise you gave back in the day to shoot base framerate more often has done wonders for my cinemetography.

Outside of motion blur, 24 fps is actually better for fiction, fighting or drama. When recording more than 60 fps we can easily notice punches not connecting with the oponnent, and in drama, the acting is more noticed as forced and faked, since we're getting more information. So more than 60fps should only be used if it's everything cgi, animated or trying to show real life.

Nice video. Unless you plan to deliver to broadcast, there is no reason to use 23.976P or 59.94P. 23.976 is technically the HMI flicker free frame rate at any shutter angle for the US standard 60Hz power. 23.976 was intended as a compromise for tape based systems no one shoots on anymore. With the 23.976 frame rate, a 180 degree shutter is technically not flicker free, though the flicker is not noticeable in most circumstances so everyone ignores this fact. But there are some situations and circumstances on set where the 23.976 might present a noticeable flicker where a hard 24P wouldn’t, but they’re sometimes hard to spot. Technically any program that’s primarily intended for on air broadcast in the US may still benefit from originating at 23.976. But pretty much any other platform - from Netflix to KZread, Hulu etc. actually is probably better off capturing at a true 24P frame rate since they are presented over the internet and not through the NTSC based broadcast system. A lot of Netflix and Amazon originals actually shoot at true 24P as well as a lot of movies intended for theatrical release. As with all movies shot on film, a true 24P program can be transferred to 23.976 for broadcast. A 23.976 program can also be transferred to true 24P - but that won’t erase its imperfections when it comes to HMI flicker.

I think one could make the case that shooting at 24fps with a large shutter angle is cinematic not because it has lots of motion blur, but because it forces the cinematographer to shoot in ways that actually minimize motion blur. You must avoid fast pans, fast motion in general, and, move the camera around your subject maintaining a shallow depth of field to keep the background from smearing, and so forth. Our eyes may perceive motion at 60fps, but we can focus our attention on only one thing at a time, and shooting at 24fps with large shutter angle forces that same focus through the lens. On a side note. I've flown FPV aircraft for 20 years, and normal FPV video footage breaks pretty much all interframe digital compression. The whole flight is a continuous zoom, and when we turn we're creating fast pans. We use cameras with small sensors that have near infinite depth of field so we get high motion and high detail. But if you look at the way movies and TV are shot for digital broadcast, they have to be careful to avoid breaking the digital compression. Shallow depth of field when possible, switch angles instead of fast pans, zooms, and avoid high detail at fast motion, and so forth. Every so often you'll it fail on a reality TV show and the video goes to digital mush. YT is the same.. They simply don't dedicate enough bitrate to 1080p and below videos to show high detail and fast motion. That's why GoPro trailers for many years have been shot more cinematically, while PoV downhill bicycle videos generally look awful, unless they post at 1440p or 4K (even if shot at 1080p, always upscale).

You are exactly correct. In interlaced video the equivalent of a film frame is a video field. A video "frame" has no existence outside of storage and editing. That is, no interlaced camera ever captures and one ever sees an interlaced video "frame." When you watch interlaced video on a modern display you're seeing a sequence of 50 or 59.94 images per second, each using line-doubling or interpolation to fill in what would be gaps. Cameras likewise pair pixel rows to create scan lines. (The only difference between successive fields is the whether the scan lines / pixel rows are paired (in capture) or duplicated/interpolated (in display) upward or downward. If there were gaps we'd see glaring artifacts in the form of bright horizontal bits of detail that flash off and on at 25 or 29.97 times per second, well below the frequency of our vision's flicker fusion. Even in the old black-and-white days of image orthicon tubes, the scanning spot was shaped vertically to avoid gaps.) Of course, unless you're shooting for broadcast you should not be shooting interlaced at all, and you should not be shooting at 23.976, 29.97, or 59,94 since that's really pointless. Those archaic rates are an artifact of the introduction of the chroma subcarrier by the NTSC in the 1950s and the need to shift the field rate slower by 1000/1001 in order to avoid a problem you can look up if you care (and there's no reason you should).

But of course you're right that it's not a bad thing either, and obviously if your camera won't do 24 fps, shooting at 23.976 is fine.

@@DGaryGrady That makes more sense. Integer rates should be preferred in many cases. Most consumer cameras (action, camcorder, point & shoot, low to mid DSLR/mirrorless) don't have 24.00/30.00/60.0 fps. There are exceptions but they are usually reserved to professional cameras and higher end DSLRs and mirrorless. The Panasonic GH-series are higher-end in my opinion.

Nothing wrong with that if you have a clear and present reason for doing do.

Answer is: decouple motion blur from shutter speed! Imagine camera taking 60fps (or whatever) video but actually, it reads multiple longer frames from the sensor at the same time to different buffers, then displays them at desired framerate. Making the motion blur seem 24 fps. Like you can shoot 24 fps with short shutter producing 60fps blur, but in reverse. Result is: the motion blur is cinematic, but the action is smooth, because it updates faster... or it could look like crap! Maybe not for 60\120 but i think it can help with 30 fps and cinematic motion blur.

Yep. It is possible to try this with motion interpolation or with CG. 60 fps with 24fps motion blur is one of my personal favorite. Anyway I am pretty sure that long exposure for 60 fps could be implemented on a camera. It may require an electronic shutter and independent pixels grid to allow exposure time that overlap. Basically multiple sensors built into one.

Oh wow, I really like your Cinematic Visual Language concept, makes total sense, love the video, so informative, and easy to follow, all the best, and stay strong!

The mind doesn't begin to disassociate reality from the moving picture until the framerate goes below 30fps, so and that's where the magic of cinema and the suspension of disbelief takes effect. Pretty interesting phenomena really

I totally get, and love, the cinematic feel of 24fps. However I do find that 24fps isn’t smooth enough for some slow camera pans. Especially for 3D movies, you can start to see the individual frames on foreground elements and the experience gets somewhat ruined. (This is in the cinema I’m talking about, so it shouldn’t be a 24 into 60Hz problem) I also think that the action scenes in some movies become incomprehensible at 24. For example the shaky cam factory fight scene in Minority Report. At 60fps action is easier to follow, camera pans can look smoother and 3D holds up better. To me watching 60fps reminds me of being at the theatre, watching a live performance. No one complains that they can’t suspend their disbelief whilst watching Hamilton because they can tell it’s not real or that there isn’t enough motion blur in real life. As such I don’t quite get why high frame rate (HFR) is being derided so much. There are 5 movies I can think of (Including 3 Hobbit movies) which were released at HFR in the cinema, only one of which is available at 60fps on home media. So you can continue to watch every movie ever released on home media and feel good about 24fps. I’ll just keep watching my UHD Blu Ray of Gemini Man over and over. I don’t want every movie to be in HFR, I just want it to be available to filmmakers as a creative choice; or to have that option for more movies myself.

So the main reason for 24p is nostalgia and "we're used to it". There is some flaws in in this argumentation, because framerate has nothing to do with motion blur. If you dont plan on using it for slowmotion you could just record 60p with a 1/60th shutter speed and achieve the same motionblur the usual 30p footage has. Also 120fps video was never intended for real time playback, but for slowmotion, I don't know why this is the main discussion in this video. 120p is good for recording birds or stuff like parkour & skateboarding. I have not heard of a single person advocating it for interview-style shots.

We still use 24 fps in movie because we are used to. Early movies were 16 ~ 18 fps because that's the lowest amount film stock usage with a special 3 blade shutter in projectors to create fast enough flashes (flash 3 times per frame) that human eyes can't detect. When the sound era came, sound was printed on the film like tapes. 18 fps was not fast enough for high sound fidelity, so the framerate needed to be faster. The number 24 was chosen because it's easy for editing. 24 can be divided by 2,3,4,6,8,12. 23.98, or 23.876 to be exact (this is the exact number), is more common today because when NTSC standard was developed, chromas signal was added to the pre-existing black and white standard, and it need to be slowed 1% in order to separate from the audio signal. So now we have the strange number like 23.976, 29.97, 29.94, 119,88. Frame rate standard was set always because of cost and technical limitations. Those limitations are way way smaller today. I hope you could do some research before making a video.

And motion blur. We all know that people usually use 90 degree or even smaller shutter angle to shot a very intense fight scene. Filmmakers already knew the motion blur of 24fps 180 degree shutter angle is too much.

The video is great as always, but can we take a moment to appreciate the lighting on this video!? On point @Mark! 😍

Having watched Gemini man in 120fps I thought it was the cleanest 3D I had ever seen but I was watching Gemini man and that film was god awful.

This argument for 24fps is very similar to the argument for sticking to imperial system of measurement: because we’re used to it. Maybe straight up moving to higher frame rates isn’t the problem but rather that we’re moving to higher frame rates while still sticking to old methods.

I think it depends on the kind of content that you make, even documentaries or KZread videos. As an example, my channel is primarily about aquarium fish. 90+% of the time, I’m not going to want any motion blur. This is why I usually opt for a slightly higher frame rate (30 and 60).

I think you looked best at 60fps. I love Hobbit at 48fps and Gemini Man at 120fps. As a filmmaker/video marker, I think it's best to position yourself as someone who's creative rather than a conformist. Yeah, film has been shot at 24 fps for over 100 years. That frame rate wasn't chosen because of it's artistic merit or visual impact. It was chosen because it was the lowest frame rate they can use where people can still perceive motion. It was a cost-based decision. Society is just used to 24 fps for movies, 30 fps for TV shows/news and 60 fps for sports. Ang Lee and Peter Jackson said nah bro we ain't conforming, we're going to do something new. I agree with them. Let's be creative and push it! Also, as a gamer who has a 165hz monitor and loves it, I hope KZread gives us the ability to playback 120 fps+ content soon.

Trying out new is indeed great but when I watched that Hobbit or Gemini clips I've felt it was done by an complete Amateure. Im gaming on a 144hz Monitor and boy is that smooth. Even 60hz feels unplayable for me now. But when I do cinematic gaming videos I still stick to 30 (cause I record in 60) and even add motion blur because it takes you way more into the action. But when I watch a simple Gameplay I want it to be 60 just like sports. I hope that standard will stick to 24. Image someone in 2040 buying a new cam cause his old one can only shoot 120fps at 8K :D 120fps is awesome for slowmo at least

I definitely think this is a generational thing and the older the person you are talking to the more likely they are to cling to 24 fps, I think 60 fps could be a standard for film especially if a new generation of ppl start pushing a change. To me it just seems like a nostalgia thing.

I think it's better to discuss motion blur in the context of the stylistic choice of shutter angle. Want to trim motion blur for the purposes of a high energy fight scene? - trim your shutter angle. Want smooth buttery motion blur? - open that puppy up. While at the same shutter angle higher frame rates result in less motion blur, I think discussing motion blur as a function of frame rate obscures the role of shutter angle and the choice it provides the filmmaker. With respect to frame rates, it's really about the interpretation of motion and how valuable information between frames is. Games typically don't have motion blur at any frame rate, but if you're gaming in a lower frame rate, you can miss vital information that might be obscured between frames. The more frames per second, the better reproduction of motion, and the more frame samples a gamer has to respond to stimuli. With cinema, I think you hit the nail on the head - it's about withholding information, and interpretation of motion isn't always beneficial for suspension of disbelief.

I don't mind the motion blur of 23.98/24 (which isn't necessarily inherit to framerate by the way), what actually bothers me is the stutter/judder that occurs when you have a display with really fast pixel response times, like an LG OLED for example. This is especially noticeable in panning shots that are fast enough to need the temporal resolution, but slow enough to not have much motion blur (for sake of simplicity, I'm not going to mention shutter speed). A display with a slow enough pixel response, or a CRT with phosphor persistence, will significantly mask this effect. In the event that there isn't enough motion blur, but the motion is still significant, and your display is fast enough, 24fps is simply not enough frames to trick your brain into seeing smooth continuous motion, they just appear as individual frames popping up onto the screen one after the other (which they are, of course).

24p definitely feels more cinematic. I can't stand watch 60p - looks like a low budget soap opera or video game. unnatural.

I remember when I went to see The Hobbit in theaters when it first came out. It was so jarring to watch and I felt uncomfortable the entire film. I recently finally got around to watching the whole series in 24fps, and it was like watching it for the first time. Couldn't even remember most of the film because I was so focused on how bad it looked and wasn't able to enjoy the story when I saw it the first time. 🤣

The way you started this video i subscribed within 10 seconds. Keep up the positivity friend!

Another reason to film at a higher frame rate is when doing green screen action shots for visual effects. It's a pain to key out extreme motion blur. The less fringing we can get on those edges the happier your VFX artist will be. We love crisp edges as much as possible.

this is certainly a good reason

You're totally right that frame rate is part of a language, but languages evolve and change. Even the cinematic languages changed over it's very short life with technological enhancements. It changed when audio could be integrated, which created talkies, but then sound became the norm and non-talkies were called silent-movies to differentiate. The same happened with color. Technological enhancement expand the range of the language. It could very well be that ~24 fps will remain the norm for cinema, but stating that THIS IS the cinematic language feels hand wavy to me like a black & white era director saying color movies are just a fad because the point of cinema is to reduce information. 24 fps is our current cinematic lingua franca, not THE CINEMATIC LANGUAGE.

one thing that i think needs to be pointed out is higher frames automatically correlates to more "stressed" experience, whether that is attention-wise or mood-wise. That's because it has to do with how our eyes perceive things. Our eyes are not FIXED on one frame rate, per say... well it doesn't really work like frame rates in camera but let's just go with the comparison because it has to do with motion blur. The more attention u give to something the less blur u see in movements. You can try that like right now. Waive ur hand and then focus, you'll see "more" of your hand. Squint and relax your eyes a bit, you'll see more "shadows" of your hands. Lower frame rates lead to more disbelief and immersion, as Mark points out, exactly because of that. It's more relaxing. It's less "attention seeking". I guess in a way that justifies why some prefer higher frame rates. They are used to how much attention they pay at video games. Similar to how we like faster paced plot, more action scenes, more grandeur stage designs, people nowadays might just be more accustomed to the "more stressful" vibe higher frames rates bring to the theaters (at least more people than before). That's just my two cents in attempt to de-mystify the phenomenon/trend we see happening today. Feel free to disagree or add anything cuz if one thing is sure, there's no one answer to this whole discussion.

That was the nicest intro to a video I've seen in a while, thank you

Interlaced visuals can give the same effect as 59.94Hz. Each field can be and often is a different moment in time. So effectively you're viewing 60fps material. Broadcast TV is still usually 1080i so those news and sports are all 60fps, but being displayed in an interlaced signal. Some channels are still 720p 60 of course. LOL remember 720p? Anyway movies aren't cropped, or at least they shouldn't be, but instead actually wider. Theaters usually had scope be wider than flat with movable side masking. Many movies these days do crop especially when they try to sell IMAX as seeing more of the picture, which itself sometimes makes it look more video-y because of non-frame rate issues that are a different discussion altogether. Lastly 23.98, 29.97, and 59.94 all need to die already. NTSC is no longer relevant.

I agree with everything this man said because it's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Talking into the camera at 60fps with a cinema/film look, (not ultra) wide at 2:1 ish, is the holy trinity.

It's funny. Seeing a movie shot on 60 fps looks wrong, even though I love high fps motion. But watching a movie in 24 fps that has been interpolated (not to be confused with interlaced) to 60 fps is really cool and an unique experince to watch. Yes, the technology is not perfect with a lot of artifacts. But some of the best technologies make it look near impossible to notice for the naked eye. A movie that looks 24 fps but in reality is 60 fps (or the other way around depending on how you look at it) is in my opinion more satisfying to watch. You get the smooth motion but you keep most if not all of the other elements that make 24 fps look cinematic, like the before-mentioned motion blur. It's weird to explain and sounds completely dumb until you try it yourself. The feature is called "frame interpolation" but is also known as "motion smoothing" but it's name differs from brand to brand, e.g.: Samsung has named theirs "Auto Motion Plus". And a big plus is that the feature is pretty much built into every smart tv or projector that is sold to this day.

Totally agree with you on that visual feeling. Before, I didn't even know this effect is because of frame rate. I just knew modern TVs are showing this smooth movies, and I HATED them because it felt like I am in a theater rather than watching a movie.

it's been a long time I haven't watched a youtube video until the end without being tempted to check my IG, my TT, mail, or anything else. VERY interesting and finally someone who can talk about it in a constructive way (and without bragging!!!!!) thx dude!

I said it before and will say it again, for real time 60fps, DON'T shoot it at 1/120 or above, Shoot it at 1/60, looks far better, smoother, natural, You still retain motion blur and have a smooth look i really like. 1/120 (above) works for slow motion, really detailed objects. But yea, 1/60

Your differentiation here is very clear and helpful, Mark. I hadn't really thought about how film uses elements like shallow depth of field, frame rate, etc. (your CVL) to pull you into the story. It's obvious when you think about it, but I didn't think about until you mentioned it. Pretty cool.

I am new to this though I did take a class on film making in 1973 (used a super 8 camera and learned how to splice film). Now retiring from my engineering life, and want to get back to what I learned so long ago...thanks for the very clear explanation!

On thing that made gemini man feel off was the shutter angle. (they were closer to a 360 degree shutter or 1/120 vs 1/240 for a lot of gemini man). And from what I remember reading about the Hobbit, it was a similar half baked kind of measure. Because they had to convert to other framerates, they were stuck shooting at longer shutter speeds. I find that true 120p films shot at 1/240 has that kind of a true to life feel, almost like real life. Some research has concluded that 120 is slightly beyond what the human eye can decern, and that 60 is still a little slow. Anyway, this is a great piece, thank you for making this! If I'm honest, in some cases that can feel very unique, maybe even be ideal. One doc I think I actually dug the HFR was Aquarela shot at 96FPS and projected at TIFF at 96fps. Felt really interesting, strange and maybe beautiful. Really worth exploring if you can find it. Oh and one more thing, Ang Lee felt that the biggest gain was in the close ups. Something I think I kind of started to understand a little bit. He felt the still closeups were where things were the HFR really felt new, maybe even better.

Didn't filmmakers chose 24fps because it was the least amount of frames per second that still looked smooth enough, while lowering the production costs?

I have to desagree, you can obtain the feel of 24 frames with 50 or even 120 fps, just play arround with the frame blending and small amounts of motion blur. Digital is amazing.

No one has ever before gotten me to subscribe in the first 20 seconds of discovering their channel. A record.

At home we still have as our main TV a screen that can only show 1080 ‘full HD’ at it’s maximum. A few years ago I went to a friend’s house who had a new ‘super HD’ TV and whilst watching it I couldn’t work out why all the TV drama we were watching looked absolutely awful, even though the picture was (in theory at least) “so much better” and “super sharp”. It took me ages to work out that the default settings for this TV was showing the HD TV programmes at a higher frame rate than what we’re normally used to and, whilst this is great for watching sports or maybe a nature documentary, it made beautifully lit, shot and crafted drama just look like some weird reality TV show that totally lost all it’s magic! Anyway, so this video makes sooooo much sense, yet most ordinary people with their brand new super HD resolution TV’s set to show everything with abnormally high frame rates by default didn’t even realise their screens had been set up this way, or why some programmes looked plain weird, unless they were watching sports

Awesome video again, Mark! Love your content as always

What about judder? On a 60 Hz display (typical display refresh rate), 24p playback will show every other frame or so for a slightly longer length of time. Each frame is displayed, but the length of time each frame is displayed is not the same. There is a test video you can use where a square is shown in different locations progressing forward for each frame; if you take a long exposure of the display with a camera, some of the squares will be darker than others, indicating that those frames are being displayed for a longer length of time... Doesn't this ruin the flow and timing of 24p by creating these micro jitters or judder on 90% of viewing displays? I believe the only way to smoothly playback 24p is if the display is set either to 24Hz, 48Hz or 120Hz and this seems like a huge oversight by most creators. I like the dreaminess of 24 fps, but it does annoy me that it's probably not even being displayed correctly(?).

It’s all preference. I always shoot in 60fps and use 24f timeline in premiere. So if i want slow mo i have it. If not , the 60fps normal speed looks great on 24f timeline.

One thing you didn't mention was frame pacing. The vast majority of screens are 60hrz. 30 fps cuts into 60 perfectly, every frame is displayed for 2 refreshes. 24 is less consistent, alternating between 2 and 3 refreshes per frame on a 60hrz screen. This makes 24 fps look worse than it should be on most screens. So I think 30 is usually the better choice because it looks more consistent for more people, and you still get a nice amount of motion blur.

The problem with the examples of this video is that it's ALSO played a a certain framerate so any example demonstrated would be downscaled to a specific framerate. It's literally the one thing you can't show on youtube.

I'm a gamer who *totally* gets the concept of movies being a different thing than games, and higher framerates not being better necessarily. It applies to games, as well. Temporal resolution is more important in the types of games where reaction time is paramount; usually details and other facets of world design have to be sacrificed to meet those frame-rate targets. CS Go, designed to run at framerates upwards of 300fps, looks very simplistic visually compared to AAA games such as Tomb Raider which target 30 on many platforms. In such a "sightseeing" game where the gameplay is less twitchy or reliant on reflexes, 30 or 60 is a much more appropriate target because it frees up resources for things like better textures, lighting, etc. This was the first video I watched of yours; I enjoyed it very much!

Great stuff and much respect to Mark!! However a bit narrow in scope as a lot of us don’t shoot ‘cinematic movies’! I do school corporate videos and stage plays and other fast moving scenes where 24p just doesn’t cut it especially when panning. Not enough frames and too juddery and choppy when transferred to KZread. And so I shoot 30p and edit on a 30p Timeline though for real-time. Those extra frames give me better sharpness when moving and panning but still with nice motion-blur to keep it real. Insisting on shooting and editing everything in 24p is too limiting for me but relying on old-school traditions that are still valid in SOME SITUATIONS I will concede is still appropriate sometimes….just not all the time

Just found your channel. Really well explained and think ill be learning alot from you. Very very early in my film making / Vid making journey so it's great to soak in information from the pro's !!

I thinks it is a matter of cinema fan people denying new technologies just because they are used to low fps. More fps is better in any case scenario. This is the meaning of fan: who has an intense, occasionally overwhelming liking and enthusiasm for something.

I made small simple calculation and comes out that movement at speed 60km/h equals 1,8m/s. If we apply (imagined) 100 frames/s then in 1/100s time object moves about 1,8cm. HD screen is made of 2900 pisels in horizonatal and if we film scene 2 meter wide then each pixel equal 2000 mm/3000 pixels = 0,6mm visualized on screen Within calculated before time object moved 18mm making HD 30 times degraded in horizontal . Sure - 2 meter is overcalculated as we do not film zooming close speedy objects. Making it 60 meter wide (30 x more which is opposite limit) it gives HD. And that is for 100/s - if we use 24/s then 4 times lower. That in general shows that upgrading screen resolution above is for movies unreasonable Speed 1,8 meter/s is still not speed of wave hand which may be up to 10x more. I suspect that only digital software is able to improve it to a degree but it is not small task. In my practice I always notice shakes even at 60 fr/s On other hand rejected already standard analog resolution with its known resolution flaws goes visibly smoother. . .

My thoughts exactly

Another banger! Great informative video man!

As an audio engineer, I mostly agree. We didn't need higher than 44.1khz In (practical) audio, and many have tried over decades to make money selling 'upgrades'. There were fads like super audio cd but over time what's most convenient will always win for wide adoption. likewise I think 4k 60fps will be the natural cap for film.

The best description I've come up with for why I don't like high frame rate for cinematic purposes is that it looks like the film is constructed entirely of dailies.

I’m new to this and whilst I love the process I have lots to learn. Really enjoyed your post and learnt a lot. Thanks so much man.
