Stop using 120fps! | Pick the right frame rate every time.

What is the the correct frame rate to shoot your film in? Why is 24fps considered cinematic and 30fps not? Should you simply film everything in 120fps because it's cool? Should I use 24fps or 25fps?
This video is about the different frame rate we have at our disposal went creating a film or video. Why should we use one frame rate over another. Not just from a technical point of view but also from a creative point of view. Hopefully at the end of it you will understand how, why and when to pick one frame rate over another.

Chris, your channel is outrageously useful but particularly it's actually very cool because it doesn't rely on demented day glo graphics and demented acid trip cuts to explain things. I finish every video feeling like I am closer to making something someone can watch. Thank you and keep it up!

Cheers so much 😊 Great tips and advice, I agree with them all ❤ However the filmic look also comes down to colour, white balance, lighting, panning speed, softness amount, and yes diffusion you reminded me of in the next video, layers ( including colours layered on top of each other, plus vintage lenses 😊❤

My takes for some framerates: 24/25: I hate panning shots in movies as the picture looks very choppy (in my eyes) 48 or whatever Avatar 2 used: looked awesome, though i get why some people would not like it. But the decision to combine it with scenes that are shot in 24fps was a bad choice in my opinion, as you always had to adapt to each Framerate 50: i use it for KZfaq product reviews and alike, it just feels like you have the person right in front of you, idk just feels right/real. And i dont get why the hobbit looks so wrong but 50fps on youtube just so right... really messes with my brain 😂

Thats the KZfaq algorithm for Ya. You could literally search for, "Stop using 120fps! | Pick the right frame rate every time." which is the title of this video. Even though no one else has this exact title and you searched for it word for word. It might be 10-20 pages back in the search results and you are shown different videos first just because they have more likes and views. Its a concept that KZfaq created which makes it very hard for new content creators to build their channel quickly unless you pay for advertising and premium features.

We need more HFR movies and shows. 4K HDR 120fps movies especially animated ones would look fucking amazing. Oh man bring it. Video games cant take all the glory!

I'd definitely be interested in seeing some more 120fps film, particularly 3D ones. But then render times are going to be crazy.

Great video. There's a few discrepancies with my training that confuse me a bit if you wouldn't mind clarifying. You refer to "shutter speed" multiple times while talking about what I was taught as "shutter angle". Is it possible this is a cultural difference as I'm in the USA? Also, you were particular about the 23.976 video frame rate not being a true 24 but didn't discuss television/video being 29.97 and not a true 30. My training was also back in 2000 and 2001 so things might be different now

Great questions. I think whether you use shutter angle or shutter speed will depend on your education background. People coming from, or taught by people, with a motion film background will use angle. People coming from a stills film background will use shutter speed. Both are probably outdated terms as they refer to a physical mechanical shutter. Modern video cameras don’t have physical shutters anymore, with a few exceptions. A better term would be something like exposure time. I assume most viewers watching my videos are shooting with DSLRs, Hybrid mirrorless cameras where it’s more common to use the stills photography terminology. (but even that can be different between brands). Shutter angle is used in digital cinema cameras, although Sony still doesn’t always use it (fx30, fx3). I don’t know why I didn’t mention 30p not being a true 30fps. I may have had a good reason at the time, or simply forgot, I can’t remember. Most video cameras rounded 29.97fps to 30p in my experience so maybe I thought it wasn’t something people would encounter, in PAL land it’s not a frame rate we deal with much - and I’m happy about that.

James Cameron uses Variable Frame Rate in Avatar TWOW, which is interesting, I never heard of this technique before.

@ChristopherMichaelLaw Жыл бұрын

As far as I know the projector technology still doesn't let you do true variable frame rates in the one DCP file. So I'd guess that this is a trick/hack. Everything is playing back at 48fps but the 24fps parts are showing every frame twice to give the effect of 24fps. Of course I could be wrong, tech moves fast and I'm sure there are other ways of achieving the same affect. Did you see it in variable frame rate, what did you think? I'm a big James Cameron fan but I found the switching between frame rates a bit distracting. But then again, I was with people who didn't notices any difference...

Isn't NTSC dead by now? It's ATSC they use now. I think ATSC can also run pretty much all the common frame rates from 23.976 to 60 Hz.

@ChristopherMichaelLaw Жыл бұрын

My understanding is both NTSC and PAL are both kind of irrelevant now in terms of playback because of digital signals. All modern TVs can accept all international frame rates. The US has mostly but not fully switched to ATSC which is like the updated digital HD version of NTSC. I believe it is capable of broadcasting any common frame rate but channels are set to either 30 or 60. I don’t think it can switch between frame rates from program to program on the same channel. And of course they still need to stick to the NTSC frame rates for capture to avoid the frequency problems.

@hbp_ Жыл бұрын

@@ChristopherMichaelLaw Yeah, obviously the problems didn't disappear. I have been wondering if there is any visual issues nowadays when using different fps from the user's monitor. PCs and phones typically use 60 or 120 Hz panels. TVs can dynamically change the refresh rate but do other devices do this too today? Historically pull-down or interpolation was used but I assume neither is perfect if the frame rates aren't divisible? Especially 23.976 fps sounds troublesome to me.
