Even if it's shot that way, it still has to be displayed that way. And current theatres aren't set up to display at that frame rate. Avatar didn't look like a soap opera in the theatres. Just on new, state of he art hd tvs. Which is what I'm guessing he demonstrated his Hobbit footage with.

The Desolation of Smaug (2013)
There and Back Again (2014)

The frames rate reduce motion blur. Witch is some sort of "in your face " 3D effect killer.
It is supposed to make it more comfortable for the eyes watching stereoscopic movies.

I can't believe they're going to use the same Bilbo actor.
- why not?Dodecahedron
- way too oldmonospaced
- they're notbrandelec
- actually its the guy from the other Hobbit movie that nobody saw not the older guy from LOTR. Bilbo was supposed to be old in that.Dodecahedron
- ...supposed to be old in that.Dodecahedron
- got it...I thought they were talking about the old Bilbo in LOTR.monospaced
- Who gives a shit, honestly?:)abettertomorrow

yup, left image+right image = 2 images, 24fps*2images... BUT THIS WILL LOOK LIKE SHIT!

They could have easily made LOTR into 10 movies - $$$. I bet they are kicking themselves right now:)

I read somewhere that the Hobbit can still be viewed in 24fps, so this may not even be that big of a deal. I dont know how it all works, I just know about the effect that all these people are describing when they saw it.
I know a lot of people do like all this 3D super smooth motion stuff, Avatar really got this kicked off, and you cant even buy an LED TV that doesnt have 3D built into it, so I know it's not going away and what I personally think about it is irrelevant, but I still just like good old fashioned movies that look normal. No 3D (I get dizzy from it), and no motion flow.
- fucking hate this 3D thing.....even if it is part of my job for more than 10 years.ApeRobot

It's obvious they're adding a bunch to the story. Hobbit is only around 300 pages long, shorter than Fellowship of the Ring. For them to turn that into 3 movies, they must be adding their own story elements. I'm not going to say anything about it until I see it.
- Tolkien nuts are probably throwing a fit.CygnusZero4
- But adding from Tolkien material. That is an important distinction.ETM

Although I won't say anything until I see them, Peter Jackson has earned my lack of skepticism and prejudice.
