I don't know but looking at his website he seems to be interested in multiple frame rates for different effects which can change during a feature using his Showscan Digital system.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

I think movies induce a dream-like state, at least if they are any good. We have all noticed how people yawn coming out of a movie. I don't think it's about the late hour, it's about coming out of an immersive process. I had a book named Movies as Dreams or some similar title that are narratives to each persons first movie memory. I loaned the book out and can't find another. What this all has to with frame rate is yet to be determined but it will evolve. Maybe our brains can easily adapt, maybe not.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-10-2011 04:58 PM                     quote: Victor Liorentas he said 60 fps became too invasive Funny that you mention that. When I first saw Showscan at the MGM Grand Theater|(I know, I am that old!) I walked out behind Siskel and Ebert... Siskel was saying to Ebert that seeing Star Wars in Show Scan would put a person on mental overload. Seems as though Trumbell must have finally agreed. I still think it went no where because of the sheer volume of 70mm film a 2 hour feature would have required. Just imagine the booth.... pair of 70mm projectors and a 5 tier platter for each machine. A 20 minute reel would have filled each deck!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

A 22" reel at 30fps is comfortable for 70mm with mag stripes...doubling the length would not double the size or even come close (that 2Pi r thing).  |  IP: Logged
