SMPTE looks at high-frame-rate 3D
Experts discuss technical challenges
The SMPTE Technology Summit on Cinema Sunday got a look ahead at high-frame-rate 3D - along with a daunting introduction to the technical challenges it presents.
The gathering watched camera tests for Warner/New Line's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," which tried various frame rates and shutter angles, and was generally impressed at the clarity of the image.
