Re: re frame rate puzzle

As you can see in film, 24fps is fine for most things, but for fast motion, it's a bit inadequate. Especially when the camera is moving quickly. It has a blur and a strobing to it.

Still, the image quality and "film effect" which is the nice appearance of it draws TV producers every year to film on 35mm film and then transfer. I can name a few dozen TV shows that are shot on film because of the difference. ER for example, and most of CBS's shows (which explains why the switch to HDTV was so quick for them).
