The Hobbit at 48fps

Frames per second or FPS is the frequency rate t which an imaging device produces unique consecutive images called frames. Basically, each frame is a still image and displaying frames in quick succession creates the illusion of motion. The more frames per second (fps), the smoother the motion appears. Films have been shot at 24 fps since the late 1920s. But Peter Jackson's The Hobbit will be the first major motion picture to be made using 48 frames-per-second.



48 fps is actually closer to the way the human eye views the world as Peter Jackson explained during the screening of a 10-minute footage of the Hobbit at CinemaCon.  Shooting at 48 fps gives a heightened sense of reality and reduced flicker. The Hobbit hits the theaters on December 14, 2012

Director James Cameron stated his intention to film the two sequels to his film Avatar at a higher frame rate than 24 frames per second, in order to add a heightened sense of reality.

The Five-Year Engagement's Guestbook

Update on yesterday's post.
So I tried signing the guestbook yesterday and upon checking back to day, my message has been apparently approved by the moderator and posted.

The Five-Year Engagement: Restricted Trailer

Check out the restricted trailer of Jason Segel's upcoming movie The Five-Year Engagement here

The comedy charts the ups and downs of an engaged couple's (Tom and Violet) relationship

You can check out Tom and Violet's wedding blog here to watch some funny wedding messages from the cast. They even have a guestbook section in the blog where you can sign the guestbook with a message. Just out of curiosity, I tried signing the guestbook to see if it was the real deal. True enough, it accepted my post, pending approval of course!
