It’s been said before but the second Greta started making connections between climate change and capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism the media coverage came to a screeching halt.
@tvaziri I think you could argue that if 48 was the original format, and we made films for 100 years in that format, we would say films made at 24 today "leave out the window of realism that the smoothness of 48 brings".
This is a great aesthetic explanation to describe the common strong reactions many people have to varying framerates. However, this modern explanation doesn't align with the original reason we use 24 fps as a standard today. (1/6)
Movies are dreamlike and abstract—an interpretation of the world. 24 frames per second allows/forces the audience to fill in the temporal blanks with their imagination.
High frame rate video content becomes a “window to the world” mimicking how your eyes see reality.
@tvaziri I understand- I'm giving additional context to those who think that 24fps was a purposeful artistic decision. At some point I think we all just decided that this is what we agree looks best for narrative film even if originally, it was a technical, almost arbitrary reason.
i really hate this culture we’ve created with the idea that people with a platform “HAVE to speak on all issues” bcos now influencers and celebrities just rush to share any infographic with no understanding or context, when really it would be better for them to just say nothing
Imagine you take ayahuasca and submerge yourself in a darkness retreat to open your mind to the secrets of the universe, and the universe whispers “go to the Jets.”
