Director James Cameron is currently busy preparing to shoot the highly-anticipated sequels, AVATAR 2 and AVATAR 3, both which are slated for 2014 and 2015 release date. No stranger of pushing the boundaries of filmmaking art, he is now wanted to shoot these sequels in an amazing 60 frames per second. Check out to see what he had to say below.
I think it is such an affinitive answer. But other people may choose 48 for other reasons. The 3D shows you a window into reality; the higher frame rate takes the glass out of the window. The reason I went down that path is because I believe it makes for better 3D. There were lots of arguments for why 48 and why 60. My feeling is if it is a software upgrade (for digital cinema projectors), do both. It doesn't change anything at the projector; you don't have to change the lamp house or the lenses. If you are uploading software you can upload it for 48 and 60 and let the filmmakers decide. If the exhibitors will adopt the idea of a dual standard, than I'll probably want to shoot 60. If they don't, then I will have to look very carefully at the pros and cons of 60 and 48.
