Mixed – First Steps into High Frame Rate Technology

While this is still a relatively new piece of technology that has only seen limited use, it is one worth noting for how it might be applied in the future. Thus far only Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the Ang Lee films Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk and Gemini Man. Given that it is still relatively in its infancy, its reception hasn't been widely accepted. Audiences and critics weren't too fond of the higher frame rates in The Hobbit or Billy Lynn, but it does seem like Ang Lee took major strides forward with Gemini Man (pictured). While I doubt high frame rate will be a standard for cinema, I do recognize that it'll have its own place in filmmaking in the near future and if anyone will set the standard for its use it'll be James Cameron and his Avatar sequels as he is a huge proponent for it, which definitely has me interested.
