\"\"<\/a>Peter Jackson certainly seems to be as addicted to Facebook as many of us are. The director took to his page<\/a> on the social network site this morning to address some fans’ concerns about his shooting The Hobbit<\/strong> at the relatively new frame rate of 48 frames per second and what this may mean if theaters haven’t converted from the century-old standard of 24 frames per second method of projection.<\/p>\n

The news about us filming The Hobbit at 48 frames per second generated a lot of comments. Of course, it’s impossible to show you what 48 fps actually looks like outside of a movie cinema, but there were several interesting and insightful questions raised.<\/p>\n

We will be completing a “normal” 24 frames per second version\u2014in both digital and 35mm film prints. If we are able to get the Hobbit projected at 48 fps in selected cinemas, there will still be normal-looking 24 fps versions available in cinemas everywhere.<\/p>\n

Converting a film shot at 48 fps down to 24 fps is not a hugely difficult process, but it requires testing to achieve the best results. Some of this involves digital processes during post-production. We are also shooting the film a slightly different way, which is a question several of you asked. Normally you shoot a movie with a 180-degree shutter angle. \u00a0Changing the shutter angle affects the amount of motion blur captured during movement. Reducing the shutter angle gives you the stroby (or jerky) “Saving Private Ryan” look.<\/p>\n

However, we’re going the other way, shooting at 48 fps with a 270 degree shutter angle. This gives the 48 fps a lovely silky look, and creates a very pleasing look at 24 fps as well. In fact, our DP, Andrew Lesnie, and I prefer the look of 24 fps when it comes from a 48 fps master.<\/p>\n

More soon ….<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n
