When video industry is going step away from 24fps legacy? Judder on panning camera scenes kills all the joy. That would be much bigger improvement than switching to 10bit color.
Gemini Man just came out at 120fps in Cinemas and 60fps on blu ray and regardless of your feelings about the quality of the film, I would have thought anybody with eyes could appreciate how amazing the high frame rate looks.
But no, it’s all people moaning about how it looks like a soap opera and “so unnatural” (too lifelike).
It seems anyone who tries high frame rate is crucified for it, so directors aren’t exactly incentivised to try again.
When I go to to people's houses, and they have a newish TV, it will invariably have frame interpolation of some kind on which effectively gives everything an approximated high frame rate. I immediately turn it off for them, and it is always met with either "oh, ya that was really bothering me" or "I can't tell the difference." I've never had someone want it turned back.
By all means, keep indie and art house productions non-3D, 24fps and on celluloid. But for insane tripple a productions: higher frame rate pls.
Supposedly the Avatar sequels are gonna be in 48 or even 60. Maybe they‘ll act as a catalyst again, like the first one did for 3D.
There's some astonishing VR footage to be found on youtube -- the VR180 stereoscopic stuff you can watch with a headset is on a whole other level when it comes to experiencing filmed medium.
But, for me at least, as a Quest owner (so maybe the mobile hardware can't process any higher-bitrate stuff, I don't know), the juddery, blocky, muddy, motion-smeared 24fps quality of even the highest bitrate videos youtube will serve in that format detracts a lot to the experience and reminds you that you're not a drone sweeping across the Saharan desert, you're some sweaty nerd sat with a fancy hat on.
